WWE And Lionsgate Will Make Six More Action Movies With Big, Sweaty Wrestlers

Lionsgate and WWE Studios have agreed to co-produce six new films together, according to Deadline. The deal will begin with Vendetta, an original story to be directed by the Soska sisters and set to star Paul White, aka WWE wrestler The Big Show.

The companies are continuing a partnership that began back in 2006 with horror outing See No Evil. A sequel, See No Evil 2, has already been completed with Jen and Sylvia Soska, makers of cult indie horror Dead Hooker in a Trunk and American Mary, taking over from Gregory Dark in the director's chair. Due for release later this year, the sequel will see WWE's Kane returning to his role as murderous psychopath Jacob Goodnight as he hunts down a group of medical students.
