In 1975, the world was first introduced to the Roger Corman-produced cult action film “Death Race 2000.” Directed by Paul Bartel and starring David Carradine (“Kill Bill: Volume 2”) and Sylvester Stallone (“Rocky”), the film follows a murderous Transcontinental Road Race in a dystopian American society. Over the years, it garnered cult acclaim and eventurally produced a remake in 2008 followed by two direct-to-dvd sequels.

Roger Corman, the legendary producer who has over 400 credits to his name and mentored directors like James Cameron, Joe Dante, and dozens of others, is back with a sequel to Death Race 2000, the cult classic he produced back in 1975. This one's called Death Race 2050, and as you might expect, it takes place fifty years later but retains the premise of the original: there's a race, and drivers get points for taking out pedestrians (and bonus points for wiping out the elderly). The original is a fun piece of satire that was perfect for its time, but I'm not quite sure if that sort of skuzzy charm will still be in tact in a version made in 2016.
(Note: this appears to be a direct sequel to the '75 original, which means it probably ignores the events of the Death Race remakes.)

Roger Corman, the legendary film producer who has produced over 400 projects in his career, will be producing a reboot of Death Race 2000 called Death Race 2050 for Universal Pictures Home Entertainment, and it will star Malcolm McDowell.
The film is described in the press released as being “an outrageous action-packed film and reboot of the original Death Race 2000.” The story will revolve around a horde of automotive gladiators who earn points for killing pedestrians as well as their fellow drivers.
Corman was a producer on all of the previous Death Race films. The first one was released in 1975 and starred David Carradine, Simone Griffeth, and a young Sylvester Stallone. Paul W.S. Anderson remade the film in 2008, and that was followed by a couple of direct to DVD prequels, Death Race 2: Frankenstein Lives in 2011 and Death Race 3: Inferno in 2013.
