Death Race 3, the latest heart-pounding entry in the high-octane franchise, is currently filming in and around Cape Town, South Africa. In this all-new original feature film from Universal 1440 Entertainment, hardened criminals race for their freedom in vicious new vehicles and face-off in the ultimate blood sport, when the popular Death Race is transported across the globe to the unforgiving and rugged terrain of South Africa. Forced against his will to participate in this global TV spectacle, Frankenstein – the greatest Death Race driver of all time – takes on this ultimate challenge to not only save himself, but his pit crew as well. Inspired by Roger Corman’s cult classic thrill ride, Death Race 3 marks the return of Luke Goss (Death Race 2, Hellboy 2: The Golden Army, Blade 2), Danny Trejo (Death Race 2, Machete, “Sons of Anarchy”), Ving Rhames (Death Race 2, Mission: Impossible franchise, Pulp Fiction), Fred Koehler (Death Race 1 & 2, “Lost”), Robin Shou (Death Race 1 & 2, Mortal Kombat) and Tanit Phoenix (Death Race 2, “Femme Fatales”). Also, joining the action are Dougray Scott (Mission: Impossible II, “Heist”) and Hlubi Mboya (How to Steal 2 Million).

‘Universal’s first two Death Race films have garnered an ardent global following that is eagerly awaiting a new chapter in this riveting saga,’ says Glenn Ross, General Manager and Executive Vice President, Universal 1440 Entertainment. ‘Death Race 3 will exceed their expectations with even more explosive action, elaborately outfitted cars, inventive weaponry and death-defying stunts that have made the franchise such a huge fan favorite.’

Director Roel Reine (Death Race 2, Scorpion King 3) once again takes the wheel of the explosive, action-thrill ride. Death Race 3 is produced by Mike Elliott (Death Race 2, Smokin’ Aces 2: Assassins Ball), with Paul W.S. Anderson and Jeremy Bolt serving as executive producers. The screenplay is by Tony Giglio (Death Race 2). The film is an official South African/German Co-Production between Universal Pictures Productions GmbH and Moonlighting DR3 Production (Pty) Ltd, shot in South Africa and co-produced by Genevieve Hofmeyr, Marvin Saven, and Ralph Tuebben. The film’s stellar production team includes director of photography John Shields (The Last House on the Left).

Synopsis:

Convicted cop-killer Carl Lucas, aka Frankenstein, is a superstar driver in the brutal prison yard demolition derby known as Death Race. Only one victory away from winning freedom for himself and his pit crew, Lucas is plunged into an all-new competition more vicious than anything he has experienced before. Pitted against his most ruthless adversaries ever, Lucas fights to keep himself and his team alive in a race in South Africa’s infernal Kalahari Desert. With powerful forces at work behind the scenes to ensure his defeat, will Lucas’ determination to win at all costs mean the end of the road for him?

Arrow in the Head reports that Death Race 2 director Roel Reine has signed on to direct Part 3, which will see Luke Goss returning as “Frankenstein” from the DVD sequel. DR2 scribe Tony Giglio is
                                                                              back also to pen the script.

Here’s what to expect from Death Race 3.

Death Race 3 will take place in a different prison in Africa, where the iconic character Frankenstein (played by Luke Goss) has to race his fellow prisoners in all newly designed and newly built ‘Death Race Cars’.

The great Danny Trejo and the lovely Tanit Phoenix will also be returning to reprise their roles for this latest DVD sequel shooting November in South Africa.

Support came out in force last week for the premiere “Pressed” starring Luke Goss. The sold out red carpet event was held at the Paramount Theatre in beautiful downtown Kelowna, BC. A wonderful choice as a backdrop and dramatic contrast to the emotionally charged film that was to come.

LGF had the privilege to be invited to this event where we were able to interview many of the cast in attendance, including Pressed’s writer/director Justin Donnelly. Due to his filming schedule Luke was unable to attend the premiere but Troy and Casey from Q103.1 had a great phone interview with Luke while we video taped from the Kelowna side of things.

As we made are way inside the Paramount Theatre we were greeted at the media wall with many photographers in attendance waiting to take pictures with the cast, crew and VIP’s.

The mood of the whole evening was welcoming and so full of energy! As we all took our seats and the introduction to the film was given, the support was unmistakable. Cheers erupted from the crowd and there was genuine excitement for the coming film.

The movie begins with Brian (Luke Goss) finding out that his very successful career has just been unexpectedly terminated, leaving him with some very heavy bills to pay. Unable to admit to his wife what has happened he sends her and his young son on a planned week long trip while he attempts to figure out how he is going to come through this in a struggling economy.

Unable to secure a new job through his contacts, Brian ends up stumbling upon Jimmy (Michael Ekland), a shady old high school friend who manages to convince him to use his entire savings to back his investment opportunity. Desperate and naive to what he was agreeing to, Brian hands over his money.

Brian’s situation quickly goes from bad to worse when the car containing the “investment” is stolen by Jessie and Sam (Tyler Johnson and Jeffrey Ballard). Two young teens just out for a bit of fun who end up in a whole lot of trouble.

The consequences of these decisions changed the lives of all involved… forever.

The whole cast was perfectly chosen. The interactions were natural even in the unusual situations.

Luke delivered a powerful performance, taking you with him through the fall and redemption of Brian. If you think you have seen the full range Luke is capable of, let us assure you that until you see Pressed you have not. His ability to make you emphasize with his characters is one of his greatest strengths and it is that strength that pulls you right in to Brian’s situation. At times you wanted to comfort him and times you wanted to slap him, but in the end he did the right thing… or did he?

Distribution for Pressed has currently been secured for Germany, and is being worked on for the US, Canada and Europe. We have no doubt that it will be picked up soon. The unique combination of Luke’s riveting performance, the amazing story and stunning scenery are not to be missed.

We would like to extend thank you’s to Justin Donnelly for not only making this fabulous movie, but for making us feel so welcomed. Ashley Kruger (manager for the Paramount Theater) for inviting us as media guests and for hosting such a top notch event. Troy and Casey from Q103.1 for a great interview with Luke and a very sweet shout out to the LukeGossForum.com
