– A press release issued this week confirmed that The Miz will be starring in The Marine 3. The Miz will portray “a Marine who is forced to put his skills to the test when a radical militia group kidnaps his rebellious niece. The unrelenting soldier does whatever is necessary to save his niece and stop a terrorist attack masterminded by the militia leader.”
Scott Wiper (The Condemned) will direct the film, with principal photography starting on June 11th in Vancouver. 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment will handle worldwide distribution on DVD, Blu-ray, VOD and digital download while WWE will handle promotion.
– WWE Studios has a new movie project in the works, partnering with France’s Kare Productions to produce a new movie titled, “Les Reines du Ring” (Queen of the Ring). The movie is about a mother looking to strengthen her bond with her estranged son who is a WWE fan, and becomes a WWE Diva. The movie will feature WWE trademarks and footage, consumer products and cameos by CM Punk, The Miz and Eve Torres.
Punk, Miz and Eve filmed their scenes in France during WWE’s post-WrestleMania tour of Europe. WWE Studios will have the rights to distribute the movie in America and Canada and can remake the movie in English if they choose to do so.
