“Death Race” sequel revs up

Principal photography on “Death Race 2” began Feb. 13, in Cape Town, South Africa.

The film will be a prequel to Paul W.S. Anderson’s re-imagining of the Roger Corman cult classic. Luke Goss, Ving Rhames, Sean Bean and Danny Trejo co-star. It will be directed by Roel Reiné (“The Marine 2”), and will chronicle the rise of the masked Frankenstein, the greatest Death Race driver of all time.

“Death Race 2” wil become part of Universal’s DVD Originals, like recent entries to the “Bring It On” and “American Pie” franchises.
