Variety:
Saban Films has acquired U.S. distribution rights to the Laurence Fishburne-Thomas Jane thriller “Standoff” and plans a first-quarter release.
“Standoff,” written and directed by Adam Alleca, centers on a troubled veteran — portrayed by Jane — who gets a chance at redemption by protecting a 12 year-old girl from a vicious assassin (Fishburne) after she witnesses a murder. Holding a shotgun with a single shell, he engages in physical and psychological warfare in a desperate fight for the girl’s life.
“Standoff” was produced by Tove Christensen, Lee Clay, Eric Gozlan and Michael Wexler. Executive producers include George Castrounis, Hayden Christensen and Richard Iott. The film was co-produced by Rosie Komandina.
It sounds like Laurence Fishburne is in the same boat as the fans as he doesn't know why he's not in The Matrix 4, either.
Saban Films has finally released a trailer for Wrong Turn reboot movie, a reimagining of the cult horror slasher film from 2003.
From Cinelinx:
Just announced this morning, Abigail Breslin (known for her roles in films like Little Miss Sunshine, Zombieland and Stillwater) has signed up to play Jules, a sexy, smart-mouthed fitness guru who faces off against a gang of vampires.
Sounds like something I would watch
Thomas Jane? Laurence Fishburne? Now I'm just imagining the Punisher sequel that should've been.
