Peter Iliff (POINT BREAK, VARSITY BLUES) has signed on to write the screenplay for the film, the plot of which still remains extremely vague. Are the gladiators fighting each other? Some terrorist force that threatens humanity? 50-year-old Asian women from Orange County? Who the hell knows. The film is currently targeting a 2011 release, one year ahead of the Mayan’s predicted apocalypse in 2012.
