How Carradine Rejoined the Death Race
Posted by bob in Films, News on August 9th, 2008
In response to the jarring demand for David Carradine as an absolutely must-have in Paul W.S. Anderson’s remake of Paul Bartel’s classic Death Race, Carradine received a call to play a brief role. Carradine, who played Frankenstein in Bartel’s original film, is now the voice of Frankenstein played by Jason Statham. He commented, “All of a sudden, they got a brilliant idea to have me voice Frankenstein in the beginning, because [Statham's] got a big mask on anyway. They ashcanned the original voice and put me in it, so that would satisfy the fans watching this film that really and truly is another movie, not Death Race 2000.”
The remake from Universal opens August 22.
