Variety is now confirming that
WWE is re-naming its WWE Films division to WWE Studios since they will now focus on made for TV and DVD productions, not theatrical releases (though they will continue on a smaller scale). WWE has several straight to DVD projects in the works including a sequel to The Marine starring
John Cena. The plan is to release four-to-six straight to DVD films per year, each with a cost of roughly $5 million each. They are also working on movies that would first air on cable and then be released on DVD. WWE also will release 12 Rounds in theaters on 3/13/09. It stars John Cena. Suckerpunch starring the
Big Show is also in development for a big screen release.
Mr. Kennedy was reduced to going around and getting fan opinions at the Great American Bash PPV after losing to Umaga in a dark match earlier in the night. Check out the video at WWE.com. This poor guy.
