Paul W.S. Anderson's Deathrace 3000 is heating up as offers are being made to Glenn Close to play the part of the warden (Joan Allen is next), according to a scooper over at Latino Review. In addition, Lawrence Fishburne is up for the coach & Djimon Hounsou is up for the main rival role which was once played by Sylvester Stallone. Jason Statham was reported as in talks by the same website a few weeks back, which was confirmed by the trades. These rumors sounds pretty solid. The film is a remake, which was a no-holds-barred, ultraviolent car race, set in 2020.
