Wesley Snipes Inks WWE Film Deal…First Up, Action/Horror!
Somehow when I prayed at night for Wesley Snipes to make a big movie return, Vince McMahon heard my prayers. WWE Studios announced this morning that Snipes has signed a multi-film deal with the studio. Many see this as a major step-down from his blockbuster heyday but the production company has produced fun independent hits as of late like ‘Oculus‘ & ‘The Call‘.
After all the recent drama that Wesley Snipes has had, it’s just great to see him return to a genre that he loves. His first project with WWE Studios will be an action/horror film titled ‘Temple‘. Co-starring Anne Heche and former WWE Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins, ‘Temple‘ is about a team of highly trained military professionals led by Snipes as they fight their way out of a locked down compound while dealing with supernatural forces.
“We are always looking for the ideal talent to extend our brand and Wesley is the right combination of action movie star and savvy producer,” WWE Studios president Michael Luisi said in a statement.
I personally think he will bring a lot to the projects and elevate their films. Are you looking forward to this collaboration between WWE Studios and the former ‘Blade‘ actor Wesley Snipes?
