Roger Corman has been a staple of low budget genre cinema since before pretty much all of us were born. He's been hard at work since the 50's, and even though he turned 90 today (Happy birthday!), he's not slowing down one bit. Pics have been released of Roger on the set of the upcoming DEATH RACE 2050, which is currently shooting in Peru, which you can check out below! Here's to 90 more years!
In the not-too-distant future, America is controlled by an all-powerful corporate government that keeps the masses placated with violent virtual-reality entertainment. The event of the year is the Death Race, where a motley assortment of drivers compete in a cross-country road race, scoring points for running down pedestrians and killing each other. The reigning champion and popular favorite is half-man, half-machine Frankenstein — but little does he know he’s taken on a rebel spy as his co-pilot.
Under the direction of G.J. Echternkamp, DEATH RACE 2015 stars Manu Bennett (THE HOBBIT franchise) as Frankenstein, as well as Malcolm McDowell (A CLOCKWORK ORANGE) as the Chairman, Burt Grinstead (NCIS), Marci Miller (VIPER), Folake Olowofoyeku (THE BEAVER), Anessa Ramsey (FOOTLOOSE), Yancy Butler (HARD TARGET), and Charlie Farrell (CANTAR).
