LOS ANGELES?- Former model Natalie Martinez is negotiations to star as
the romantic lead opposite Jason Statham in "Death Race," a remake of the
Roger Corman cult classic.

brutally compete in an enclosed arena. Statham is starring as a prisoner
who, with only weeks to go before his release, is coerced into being a
driver in a road rally to the death and becomes a crowd favorite called
Frankenstein.

Martinez will play Case, a woman who is assigned to be Statham's
navigator and ends up assisting him in his plan to escape the prison. She
joins a cast that includes Joan Allen, Ian McShane and Tyrese Gibson.

Shooting is scheduled to start this month in Montreal. Paul W.S. Anderson
is directing for Universal Pictures.

Martinez, a former model for Jennifer Lopez's clothing line who jumped

"Saints & Sinners."
