The project, from WWE Studios, Simmons and Erebus Pictures, is now in postproduction.

"Armed Response is a unique story, with the look and feel of a sci-fi epic," said Saban Films' Bill Bromiley. "We've been fans of WWE for a long time, and it is great to be partners on this film."

WWE Studios president Michael Luisi produced the film along with Simmons under their Erebus Pictures banner. Bromiley, Ness Saban and Jonathan Saba negotiated the deal on behalf of Saban Films. WWE handled North American rights, with Voltage Pictures dealing with international sales.
