Sean Bean joins "Death Race 2": Universal film is a prequel to 2008's Jason Statham starrer

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Sean Bean is starring opposite Luke Goss in Death Race 2, the prequel to Universal's 2008 Jason Statham starrer.

Universal is putting out the feature, now shooting in South Africa, as part of its DVD Originals banner. Smokin' Aces 2: Assassins' Ball was the label's most recent release.

Also in the cast are Lauren Cohan, Ving Rhames, Danny Trejo and Frederick Koehler. Paul W.S. Anderson, who directed the 2008 movie, is producing with Jeremy Bolt. Roel Reine is directing.

The prequel is serving as the origin story for the character named Frankenstein, a convicted cop killer (Goss) in a declining American empire where a racing reality show is about to be born in the country's corrupt prison system.

MMA star is set to play in "The A-Team" remake!

According to The Sun, mixed martial arts star Quinton "Rampage" Jackson could be set to play the role of B.A. Baracus in the June 2010 remake of The A-Team.

Its actually quite interesting and surprising considering there were several other choices that were possibly to be slated, including 50 Cent, Ice Cube, The Game and even Common (not too sure on that one) had been mentioned for the gig made famous in the 80s by Mr. T.

The movie is being directed by Joe Carnahan, the man behind Smokin' Aces. Bradley Cooper (The Hangover) and Liam Neeson (Taken) have already been cast.

Well whether he gets the role or not, the film is set to come out June of next year. I am pondering whether or not I will see this one....hmmmm!
