“Lockdown” will become the second action film that WWE Studios and Lionsgate will co-produce and release through their “six-pack” movie deal.
WWE star Jonathan Good, known in the ring as Dean Ambrose, will headline the film, to be directed by Stephen Reynolds (“Tomb Raider: Ascension”). Production starts this month.
Good, who made his debut on WWE’s main roster in 2012, has generated a major following from fans as part of the group The Shield, and quickly proved his abilities on the mic and in story lines in and outside of the ring. WWE is now betting that he may be able to cross over into films, as well.
Written by Nathan Brooks and Bobby Lee Darby (“See No Evil 2″), “Lockdown” follows a police officer who finds himself trapped inside his own precinct and hunted after crooked cops stop at nothing to recover incriminating evidence of illegal activities against those closest to him.
The film follows “Vendetta,” that stars the Big Show and is directed by Jen and Sylvia Soska (“See No Evil 2″), while “Leprechaun: Origins,” which Lionsgate is also distributing with a limited release in theaters before hitting homevideo platforms, was part of an earlier deal.
“Leprechaun: Origins” had initially been intended for direct to home entertainment platforms on Aug. 26, but will now also give the film a limited release in theaters on Aug. 22, after a presentation for the film was well received at Comic-Con in San Diego.
It's not the Joker in Batman, but it'll do! Freaking pumped for this! Ambrose mark since 2009 baybayyy
