WWE Studios announced today that they will be partnering with Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions to produce “The Marine 5: Battleground.” The Miz, Maryse, Heath Slater, Bo Dallas, Curtis Axel and Naomi will be featured in this fifth installment of “The Marine,” and production will begin this Tuesday, May 31, in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
Below is some more information regarding the film:
The Miz returns as Jake Carter, an ex-Marine who served in the Middle East and is now saving civilian lives stateside as an EMT. After responding to an emergency call in an abandoned parking lot, Carter finds himself protecting an injured man from a ruthless biker gang. With the odds stacked against him, Carter utilizes his unique Marine skills to stop the bikers’ rampage before any more innocent blood is shed.
“The ‘Marine’ series is a true fan-favorite and we are thrilled to join with Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions and director James Nunn to launch this next installment,” said Michael Luisi, President of WWE Studios. “For the first time ever, we will have six WWE Superstars in one live action film to ramp up the excitement and thrill audiences worldwide.”
Editor’s Note:
I’ll be completely honest: I haven’t seen any of The Marine movies. And since I have not heard anything one way or the other, I probably won’t see this one either.
