If you haven’t seen Dr. Horrible yet, you should go check it out. Joss Whedon, Neil Patrick Harris and a web mini-series of epic proportions of silly. It starts July 15th. Hurray for NPH!
Opening August 22nd: there’s a (sort-of) remake of Death Race 2000 coming called Death Race. There’s a trailer up here. And yes, that’s Jason Statham, saint of driving and eternal hotness. It looks like they’re spending a good chunk of money on this remake/sequel and the trailer actually shows promise. I won’t be getting my hopes up too high though - it’s unlikely that Death Race will jump from “Death by Double-Feature” to “international blockbuster”. It does look like it’s going to be fun and explosive.
Jason Statham really does do a lot of driving movies, doesn’t he? Transporter 3 is in post-production according to IMDB, as is Crank 2: High Voltage. (Okay, I admit to having contributed to the box office success of the terrible movie that was Crank, but it mostly because it involved Jason Statham. I probably won’t spring for Crank 2 in the theater.) And finally, The Brazillian Job, the third movie in The Italian Job series, was announced a few weeks ago. (The Bank Job, out earlier this year, didn’t actually involve much driving but it was a hoot.)
