Death Race was a deep heartfelt drama filled with story and introspective social commentary. Mostly about using a car to bridge that gap between competitive sports and criminal homicide.
And it is upon this brilliantly crafted storyline which Paul WS Anderson is going to build a prequel.
Want to know how the world of the Death Race remake got its start? Yeah, me neither. Paul W.S. Anderson has a origins story in the works penned by Tony Giglio.
I am SO sick of prequels.
Seems like instead of sequelling films, some people think its worthwhile to tell the story that came before.
Wouldn’t the original Death Race really be a spoiler? And really what story is there to Death Race that couldnt just be a sequel if they were just eager to milk that cow.
