Wadlow Enters Arena

Jeff Wadlow who directed Never Back Down for Summit Entertainment stays put to helm the sci-fi action film "Arena" says The Hollywood Reporter.

Toby Wagstaff and Darren Howell's script sees a group of modern-day soldiers transported to a shifting landscape, where they are forced to face off against the best warriors from different eras in gladiator like battles.

The director had been working on the prison-escape action project "The Tomb" at the studio until it stalled, the studio then moved him over to 'Arena".

Yes, Never Back Down was a predictable flick--but it was exciting to watch...Arena should follow suit.
