Sean Bean signs up for DEATH RACE 2
Sean Bean has agreed to appear in the DEATH RACE prequel (which was actually a remake of DEATH RACE 2000), DEATH RACE 2. And yes I do think that having the number 2 in the title for a prequel is a little confusing, but we can make it past this issue and not let the confusion get the best of us. I believe in us.
Bean has a natural intensity and wonderful "Motherfucker you talking to me?" scowl that should work well in the DEATH RACE 2. I'm sure Bean will have many solid chances to get angry or frustrated in the film.
DEATH RACE 2 is about the origins of the character Frankenstein:
“A convicted cop killer in a declining American empire where a racing reality show is about to be born in the country's corrupt prison system.”
Jason Statham’s character posed as Frankenstein in DEATH RACE, wearing the man's uniform after the original Frankenstein allegedly died. Luke Goss (the villain in HELLBOY II: THE GOLDEN ARMY, which he was awesome in) is set to play Frankenstein.
Bean’s casting would be more exciting if the film was getting a theatrical release, as it’s difficult to have even moderate hopes when talking straight-to-DVD, but still Bean being involved is definitely a plus for the project.
