Erebus Pictures, the genre specialty label formed by KISS co-founder Gene Simmons and WWE Studios, has locked Wesley Snipes, Anne Heche, Dave Annable and WWE star Seth Rollins to star in Temple, a thriller that will be directed by John Stockwell, Deadline reports.
Scripted by Matt Savelloni, “Temple follows a team of trained operatives who find themselves trapped inside an isolated military compound after its artificial intelligence is suddenly shut down. There, they begin to experience strange and horrific phenomena.”
Snipes is best known to us genre fans as the title character in New Line Cinema and Marvel’s Blade.
Here’s what Snipes had to say:
“It’s exciting to find myself in a genre I have always wanted to explore. We are looking forward to a great brand collaboration with Erebus, WWE and Gene.”
Heche previously starred in WWE and Slash’s Nothing Left to Fear, while Annable starred in the short-lived series “666 Park Avenue”.
The most promising news is that Stockwell is directing. I quite like his Turistas and look forward to his Kickboxer: Vengeance.
Filming begins this week and Snipes is producing with Simmons and WWE Studios president Michael Luisi.
WWE Studios will handle North American sales and Voltage Pictures will handle international sales.
