'Death Race' Gets a Prequel

Impact Pictures is apparently working on the prequel to Paul WS Anderson’s Death Race. The production company has already hired Tony Giglio to write a script, based on a story by Anderson.

Anderson will oversee the prequel as soon as he has completed work on Resident Evil: Afterlife, on which Giglio is serving as a second unit director.
