Death Race 3 plot synopsis revealed


If greasy, fast paced, violent smash 'em up action is what you're into, then there's been no better franchise over the last few years than Death Race. The 2008 film starred Jason Statham and was basically a far superior remake of 1975's Death Race 2000, following a falsely convicted man who takes on the mantle of "Frankenstein" to compete in government sponsored death races between prisoners.  The follow-up prequel turned out to be one of this year's great surprises, with new star Luke Goss taking over and keeping the blood and death metal mayhem rollin'.

The third film in the series has been in production for months now, with Goss back to star and Roel Reine behind the camera. Set in South Africa, the story finds the first 'Frankenstein' facing his stiffest competition yet. Eventually they're going to have to tie these movies directly in to the first film, and I'm betting now is that time.  Shocktilyoudrop managed to get the official plot synopsis for Death Race 3, which you can read below...
Plot: 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?

Luke Goss, Danny Trejo, Ving Rhames(is he the new straight-to-DVD king?), Robin Shou, Tanit Phoenix, and Dougray Scott will star, with Paul W.S. Anderson producing. This will likely be another DVD release, probably some time in 2012.
