WWE Studios Signs Multi-Picture Deal With Wesley Snipes’ Movie Company

WWE Studios has announced in a press release that they have signed a multi-picture deal with Wesley Snipes and his company Maandi Media DMM to develop and produce “elevated branded content.”

The first picture under the deal will be Temple, which stars Snipes, Anne Heche, Dave Annable and Seth Rollins. It’s in production now. It’s believed that the second film under the deal goes into production later this year.

WWE Studios President Michael Luisi said: “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. We look forward to creating exciting new content with the perfect partner.”

Snipes added: “The action genre has been a very big and important part of my career. There is no better way to extend my love for dynamic action based entertainment than with a company like WWE, who have been entertaining fans for decades with incredible visuals and deliciously entertaining storylines. Maandi strives to create elevated multi-media content that appeals to all demographics worldwide – from childhood fan to feature film collaborators. Wow, sooo cool! We are all incredibly excited to share visions.”

WWE Studios will handle worldwide rights and will use their weekly TV shows, digital and social media and WWE Network to promote the films.
