It's pretty amazing how when I started this site almost a decade ago, I was writing about Tom Cruise, Joan Allen, Paul W.S. Anderson and today, I get to announce that our very own John Fallon (aka the Arrow) just got himself a small part in the remake of the Sylvester Stallone film DEATH RACE 2000 (now titled just DEATH RACE) co-produced by Cruise and directed by Anderson (and yes, the Arrow is one of the few onliners who's always dug on the guy) and co-starring Allen. Furthermore, the film stars none other than Jason Statham himself, as well as Ian McShane and as we recently announced, hottie Natalie Martinez.

Fallon will be playing a Neo f*ckin' Nazi in the movie and hopefully will go head-to-head vs Statham (if that actually happens, we may just have throw him an after-party for that...wow!). The film is set to start shooting in Montreal, Canada really soon, and the Arrow will be shooting his part, sometime in October. It's always bitter-sweet for me to announce acting gigs for my good friend John because it means that he's just a step closer to leaving me...I mean, this site...hehehe. Seriously though, DEADEN recently got bought up in the US, and after his quickie role in SAW 2, he nabbed another one in Eric Red's 100 FEET opposite Famke Janssen and now this puppy! As per usual, we wish John nothing but the best and if you see Tom Cruise on the set, tell him JoBlo said "Hey!". Also, ask Martinez if she's single and needs someone to show her around town. Straight up, man. Help a brother out. Thanks!

Extra Tidbit: The first theatrical movie that the Arrow and I ever saw together was SWINGERS. Great film!

Way to go arrow! He definitely deserves it though. I saw Deaden, and both John and the movie absolutely kick all kinds of ass. Can't wait to see the arrow kill again!

Hmm..
A neo-Nazi? So either he's playing a male version of Mattilda The Hun or more likely her lovable navigator Herman The German (played by Fred "Gopher" Grandy in the original)...

Haha congratulations Arrow! I still need to check out Alone in the Dark, just to see what you're like in a 'Boll movie.

I think acting as a neo-nazi isn't really a stretch for The Arrow, since he practically hung my Mexican ass from a tree when I met him.

Always rooting for you John!
I'm proud to admit the only reason I went and saw the awful "Alone in the Dark" was to see John to his little bit part opposite Stephen Dorff! So congrats man, I will watch this because you are in it, and hopefully it's good too. It goes to show that you can be a fan (Arrow's site) and be IN the Biz as well...oh and a lot of hard work as well. You're awesome man, keep it rolling, and your fa...

GO ARROW!
Time to finally see my two favorite buzz-headed badasses on screen together! What will happen when Fallon meets Statham? Will the universe collapse in on itself? Will all females in the 250 mile radius be spontaneously impregnated by their proximal inseminatory waves of manhood? Or will they simply liberate the Third World and make sandwiches?

nice!
That is so cool. I actually just watched Death Race 2000 less than a month ago at this B-movie-a-day festival called Trash Film Orgy. Seen it before, but still... so much fun.

Can't wait to see the remake! And can't wait to see The Arrow in it!

Congrats Arrow! It's cool to see you getting more and more parts!

You're actually the reason I rented 'Alone in the Dark' it was the only good 3 seconds in the entire movie.
