New York Comic Con 2016: Watch Roger Corman's DEATH RACE 2050 Trailer
Death Race is back and campier than ever now that Roger Corman has retaken the reigns of the franchise. The film is debuting at the New York Comic Con and to celebrate the first trailer and poster have premiered online at EW.
However, while Corman's latest more closely resembles 1975's Death Race 2000, I fear the satire that seemed so fresh then doesn't quite work today. Despite that,it certainly looks like a fun throwback to the B movie producer's heyday when he was making sometimes edgy and often titillating drive-in fare.
Death Race enjoyed some recent success under the eye of Resident Evil's Paul WS Anderson who directed the last iteration starring Jason Statham.
Manu Bennett (The Hobbit), Malcolm McDowell (A Clockwork Orange), Marci Miller (American Fable), Burt Grinstead (NCIS), Folake Olowofoyeku (The Beaver), Anessa Ramsey (The Signal), Yancy Butler (Hard Target), and Charlie Farrell (I Was a Teenage Wereskunk) star in the film.
