The 1975 original featured David Carradine and Sylvester Stallone
Paul W.S. Anderson has been hired to write and direct a remake of Roger Corman's "Deathrace 2000" for Paramount.

Variety reports "Deathrace 3000" will be produced by Anderson, Corman along with Tom Cruise and Paula Wagner.

The original saw David Carradine and Sylvester Stallone racing to run over pedestrians in a bid to pick up points.

Speaking to Variety Anderson said: "The original was so much about decimating pedestrians that the actual race was almost irrelevant, and I want to restore that," Anderson said. "Set in 2020, ours is an ultraviolent, no-holds-barred race with heavily armed Escalades, Ferraris and Aston Martins."

Paramount are also in talk with Viacom to produce a video game, "Caramageddon" springs to mind....
