Joan Allen (pictured inside), hot off of Universal Pictures' "The Bourne Ultimatum," is returning to the studio for Death Race, Paul W.S. Anderson's remake of the Roger Corman cult classic, according to Variety. Ian McShane and Tyrese Gibson also are buckling up for the action thriller, which Jason Statham is toplining. "Death Race" sees a future America in which prison inmates are forced to brutally compete in an enclosed arena. Statham will play a prisoner who, with only weeks to go before his release, is coerced into being a driver and becomes the crowd favorite called Frankenstein. Allen will play the warden of the prison who runs the race and ruthlessly forces Statham to enter the arena. McShane will play a coach, while Gibson is a sociopathic racer named Machine Gun Joe who seeks to escape from prison. Production will start this year with an aim for a fall 2008 release.
