- To update you on WWE Films next release, Jornada del muerto (Day of the Dead), the film is still set to release sometime in 2009 although some close to the writers of the film say January of 2008. No word on when filming of the movie will begin.
Back in February, a few WWE superstars such as Batista, Lashley, Triple H, Undertaker and HBK were listed as cast members but now the only one remaining is Triple H who will star as Jonah Hawk. One source close to Dave Batista says that Batista has heard about the movie, but hasn't seen a script for the movie or been approached about being in the movie. Hollywood heavyweights Robert DeNiro and Jim Carrey are rumored to be a part of the movie, but nothing is confirmed.
The movie is written by Alan McElroy of Spawn fame and John Milius who was instrumental in the creation of the UFC and the one who came up with fights being held inside the Octagon. Milius also is directing the film while Vince McMahon is the film's executive producer. The story is based around a modern day Western where "gangs, drugs and disorder" rule the land. Again, Triple H stars as Jonah Hawk.
In a related note, WWE Films is also one of the production companies for Bratz: The Movie which is a film based on the popular Bratz Dollz toys for girls. That film, which Vince McMahon also produces, finished shooting in March of this year and opens in August of this year.
