WWE Studios
WWE Films was established in 2002 to explore options in filmed entertainment in order to promote our Superstars and capitalize on our intellectual property and fan-base.
Effective July 21, WWE Films became WWE Studios to better represent our current focus on creating a diversified mix of filmed entertainment including theatrical, direct-to-DVD, television, animation and other projects currently in development.
In early 2009, WWE Superstar John Cena’s latest theatrical film “12 Rounds,” directed by Renny Harlin, will be released by 20th Century Fox, under the WWE first look deal with Fox Atomic. WWE Studios, in conjunction with 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment, also will debut its first direct-to-DVD film, “Behind Enemy Lines: Columbia,” starring WWE Superstar Mr. Kennedy.
