The futuristic action film is set in a U.S. where prison inmates are forced to compete in the brutal competition.
Already cast are Jason Statham, Ian McShane and Tyrese Gibson.
Statham will play a prisoner only a week from release who has to compete and goes on to become a crowd favourite, known as Frankenstein.
According to The Hollywood Reporter Allen will play the warden of the prison who organises the race and forces Statham to enter the race. McShane has been cast a coach and Gibson as Machine Gun Joe, a prisoner seeking to escape.
Paul W.S. Anderson is directing with production due to begin later this year.
