Seems the direct-to-DVD sequel Death Race 2 is taking shape. Lauren Cohan (Supernatural)is the latest actor to join Luke Goss (Hellboy 2), Tanit Phoenix, Sean Bean (True Blood), Ving Rhames (Dawn of the Dead), Danny Trejo (Machete) and Frederick Koehler.
Here is a synopsis: The prequel, written by Tony Giglio, takes place in the very near future, as the United States economy begins to decline and violent crime starts to spiral out of control. To contain the growing criminal population, a vast network of for-profit, private prisons springs up, creating a lawless subculture ruled by gangs, cold-blooded killers and sociopaths. The worst of these prisons is Terminal Island.
Convicted cop-killer Carl Lucas arrives on the Island to serve his life sentence just as ruthlessly ambitious television personality September Jones launches the ultimate reality show, Death Race. A brutal prison yard demolition derby that pits prisoners against each other in steel reinforced, heavily armed vehicles, Death Race offers the winner the ultimate prize: freedom — if he can survive to enjoy it. When Lucas signs up to be a driver, the stage is set for the birth of a legendary racer.
The film will be directed by Roel Reiné and is being filmed in South Africa.
