Brodus Clay To Star in New WWE Film, 2 More Films Announced

[Heisenberg]

According to Variety.com, WWE Studios will be teaming up with Lionsgate Films for a 2 movie deal.

The following are excerpts from the report:

Studio will team with the Connecticut-based entertainment company on a reboot of "Leprechaun," the 1993 horror pic that was one of the first starring roles for Jennifer Aniston and an indie hit. Pic was produced by now defunct studio Trimark, which was eventually absorbed by Lionsgate in 2000.

Upcoming films for WWE Studios include "No One Lives," starring Luke Evans and WWE personality Brodus Clay, "Barricade," starring Eric McCormack; and cult hit "The Day" starring "Lost" vet Dominic Monaghan, Shawn Ashmore, and Ashley Bell, which was purchased at the 2011 Toronto Film Festival.

Lionsgate and WWE have teamed before on pics "See No Evil" and "The Condemned."

The report notes that Leprechaun is set for a 2013 release, and has yet to have a writer, director or cast attached to it.

Don't have any interest in these films as they star noone I really like and why the hell are they putting Brodus Clay in a movie already? He's hardly in any spotlight yet.

And, Hornswoggle will probably play the leprechaun..

 

[Kiffy Lube]

They are actually bringing back Leprechaun back under the WWE banner. I will actually have to check that out. I love the series but I usually hate remakes. Glory days of when SyFy would play most of them St. Patrick's Day. Come on WWE deliver, dammit.

No Warwick Davis, no movie ffs.

 

[Troy]

It wouldn't surprise me if they use Warwick Davis in the film as well as Hornswoggle.

I knew about Brodus Clay starring in this film, it was announced early last year that he had done the role. Doesn't really matter that he is new he must have had the look that the casting director wanted.

Different method for WWE that they are starting to purchase completed films and will then distribute them, not sure how successful they can be but in the end they can't do much worse than they did in 2011.

Bet they will turn it into a comedy WWE films suck

 

[JMobile]

So out of how many WWE films have been successful?

 

[The Cork]

Couldnt give a shit what it did at the box office, but I like The Condemned.

No desire to see anything else made by them though.

 

[Big Red Jericho Punk]

This will be bad, but nothing is worse than The Chaperone!

The Chaperone actually wasn't too bad, was easily watchable. Yeah it might of felt a bit kiddy at times but that's what WWE Studio focuses on, more the kid movies. It was much better than Big Shows movie..

Yeah I heard it was in the running for Best Horror movies of the year. C'mon now.

 

[John McHenry]

For what they are the WWE films are good they aren't going to win any oscars but they aren't trying to. For the straight to DVD stuff it's pretty good.

 

[Prodigy]

Brodus film should be decent, looks like a guy playing as a horror person.

 

[We Are Legion]

"Leprechaun"... wow... that's a blast from the past.

Hard to imagine how a company like WWE who promotes a PG environment normally would get involved with rebooting arguably the most perverted horror movie franchise of all time.

 

[Deezy]

It's Leprechaun, not Hostel.

Remember the movies only having one titty scene per movie. Then they get to tha hood.

 

[chefboyardee]

well i guess all u need is a few squash matches to get a role with wwe pictures.looks like big dave shoulda stuck around a tad longer.
