JEFF KATZ' WRESTLING REVOLUTION ANNOUNCES DISTRIBUTION DEAL, COVERED IN VARIETY

The Wrestling Revolution project, headed by Hollywood film producer Jeff Katz (who worked for WCW prior to his Hollywood exploits), has signed a distribution deal with Image Entertainment, who also distribute the Criterion Collection movie label.

The Revolution project, a planned 13 episode self-contained series, will be distributed via DVD as well as number of digital media platforms, including Netflix, Hulu, iTunes, and more.

The series will be filmed this October in Los Angeles, featuring a roster of 22 wrestlers.

This is actually a huge deal as Image Entertainment is one of the largest independent distributors in North America, so the project will be extremely well placed in major retail outlets.

Variety covered the deal in today's edition, which you can read online at this link. The Variety piece noted that music composer Brian Tyler ("Fast Five," "The Expendables") will be providing the soundtrack for the series, while Gary Frutkof ("Shoot Em Up," "Hawaii Five-0," "Prison Break") will handle production design, while Colin Strause, co-founder of f/x shop Hydraulx ("Battle: Los Angeles," "Iron Man 2") will be assisting with the visuals.
