Wesley Snipes’ Sci-Fi Thriller ‘Armed Response’ Picked Up by Saban Films

Saban Films has bought the North American rights to the sci-fi thriller “Armed Response,” starring Wesley Snipes, Anne Heche, Seth Rollins, Gene Simmons, and Dave Annable.

Saban made the deal with WWE Studios, Gene Simmons, and Erebus Pictures. John Stockwell (“Blue Crush”) directed from Matt Savelloni’s script, which follows a team of highly trained operatives who find themselves trapped inside an isolated military compound after its artificial intelligence is suddenly shut down. The crew begins to experience strange and horrific phenomena as they attempt to uncover what killed the previous team.

The film is currently in post-production. It was originally called “Temple” as part of a three-film deal announced in 2015 between WWE and Simmons.
