It’s been almost a year since we reported on Toby Wagstaff and Darren Howell’s very cool-sounding sci-fi action movie “Arena”, about a group of modern soldiers who are transported to a mysterious alien landscape where they are forced to fight warriors from different eras of human history or be killed. Summit Entertainment has now announced that the movie has found its director in Jeff Wadlow, whose previous credits include the slasher “Cry Wolf” and the teen martial arts movie “Never Back Down”. Now the film needs to find a cast.

Chris Bender and J.C. Spink of BenderSpink and Jim Thompson of Original Content will produce the movie with Alex Franklin and Jonah Loop of Pangea Pictures. Summit Entertainment’s Erik Feig and Geoff Shaevitz are overseeing the production.
