WWE Studios and Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions partner for 'The Marine 5: Battleground'

WWE Studios and Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions (SPWA) today announced that the two studios will partner on the upcoming action film, “The Marine 5: Battleground.” Directed by James Nunn (“Eliminators”), the film will feature WWE Superstars The Miz, Maryse, Heath Slater, Bo Dallas, Curtis Axel and Naomi. The film will begin production this Tuesday, May 31, in Vancouver, BC, Canada.

The Miz returns as Jake Carter, an ex-Marine who served in the Middle East and is now saving civilian lives stateside as an EMT. After responding to an emergency call in an abandoned parking lot, Carter finds himself protecting an injured man from a ruthless biker gang. With the odds stacked against him, Carter utilizes his unique Marine skills to stop the bikers’ rampage before any more innocent blood is shed.

“The ‘Marine’ series is a true fan-favorite and we are thrilled to join with Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions and director James Nunn to launch this next installment,” said Michael Luisi, President of WWE Studios. “For the first time ever, we will have six WWE Superstars in one live action film to ramp up the excitement and thrill audiences worldwide.”

The film is written by Ed McHenry and Rory McHenry.

I doubt it, I don't think Vince would keep throwing money into something that isn't making money.

My bad it wasn't Kennedy, Ted or Miz replaced Orton when some marines raised a stink about him going AWOL when he was in the army.

Underrated post.

It's all about their media portfolio/Status as a entertainment company. Even if it looses money it makes WWE look like a bigger deal and it adds more chances for them to make money off the back end with international, streaming, distribution, and TV rights for their films.
