Somewhere out there, right now, possibly near you – there’s a movie called Death Race 2 completely existing. It’s not completely confirmed, but Universal announcing that they’re making a Death Race 3 either points to the second film in the series being in a reel canister somewhere or that the film franchise will only be naming films based on prime numbers. All of this is apparently warranted because Death Race made an unnatural amount of money in the foreign market. That was back in 2008. 2008! It feels like it was ten years ago. Fortunately, we’ll get that nostalgic feeling for 2008 all over again when Death Race 3 (and possibly Death Race 2) hit home entertainment discs of all kinds. [Moviehole]

There are few things in life I enjoy more than a horror movie filled with ridiculous kills, outrageous monsters, and utterly gratuitous and indefensible amounts of nudity. Naturally, I’ve long been a fan of the late night master Roger Corman, a Horror Hall of Famer responsible for writing, directing, or producing some of the most amazing movies ever to reach the screen. Now, I don’t necessarily mean amazing as in “good” but rather “amazing” as in you will feel amazement. Maybe from the plot. Maybe from the dialog. But when you watch a Corman flick, you definitely feel amazed by what you’re watching. Youngsters that many of you in the digital age, you may be unfamiliar with the bulk of the 389 films Roger Corman produced, but that’s all about to change. The fine folks over at Shout! Factory, in a bit of brilliance that has answered at least three of my prayers, are presenting the Roger Corman Cult Classic Collection.

Nicolas Cage has signed on to star in “Drive Angry”, a revenge movie directed by Patrick Lussier. Cage will star as a man chasing down the people who killed his wife and daughter, with the violence escalating with each death.

Another brief and confusing week for the Blu-ray Report, my friends. Once again I’ve been stuck waiting on review material, sifting through useless extras and pounding away at the eggnog.

We had a chance to talk to the director and co-star of Death Race to give them a shot at selling us on more explosions.

If the answer to my rhetorical question is, ‘holy hell yes!’ then you’ll want to check inside for details, but don’t expect any Transformer 2 spoilers. He wouldn’t give ‘em to me.

Brian Gibson loves to buy DVDs. Come with him on his weekly journey into the depths of credit card debt as he tells you what to buy, rent and avoid.

Tropic Thunder ended up hanging on to first place with a $16 million haul. That was not a surprise. What was surprising, though, was how strongly The House Bunny did.

The filmmakers might have been drinking while making Death Race. Why not join them?

This movie is like much of Anderson’s films… a big steaming pile of crap, but still a lot of fun to watch.

This weekend promises to be a real death race at the box office. That’s the name of the movie, too: Death Race. Also, The Rocker rolls out, and so does The House Bunny starring funnygal Anna Faris. All that and more this weekend at the Report.

Neil is grumpy this week, and Kevin takes full advantage of his weakness for the show.

Robert Fure and Film School Rejects take no responsibility if you are dumb enough to attempt the driving maneuver described within. We don’t support spoilers on Civics or unpainted body kits.

The full event schedule for Comic-Con International 2008 has finally been released online via the official Comic-Con website. And just to give you a taste of what you should be looking out for, I have dug into the schedule and emerged with some of the can’t miss movie geek events.

Take a look at the recently released poster for “Death Race” and behold giant floating heads!

By my estimation, every red-blooded American male has at least a little bit of interest in Jason Statham driving fast cars and leaving a ridiculous body count in his wake.

A remake of Roger Corman’s 1975 classic Death Race 2000 should be a no-brainer. Fast cars, loud guns, campy characters, and politically incorrect humor should be a recipe for guaranteed entertainment. So why do I get the feeling this year’s Death Race remake will be a no-brainer in a completely different way?
