Exclusive: Screen Media is ready to pack a punch with the forthcoming mixed martial arts action film Cagefighter. The company has acquired the U.S. rights to the pic written and directed by Jesse Quinones and has slated a day and date release for October 9.
The story follows Reiss Gibbons (Alex Montagnani) who is looking to take the throne as the greatest to ever step inside the Legends cage. Reiss has it all: five title defenses under his belt, his beautiful wife Ellie (Georgia Bradner), a ball-busting agent Reggie (Elijah Baker) who has hooked him up with endless sponsorships, and the support of coach and mentor Marcus (Chuck Liddell). Things take a turn when promoter Max Black (Gina Gershon) pits him toe-to-toe against pro wrestling superstar Randy Stone (Jon Moxley) in the company’s first-ever cross-promotional event — which can very well be the toughest fight of his life.

Ahead of the world premiere in Edinburgh of We Are Monster, writer and star Leeshon Alexander talked to Screen about bringing a harrowing true story back into the public eye.
In February 2000, violent racist Robert Stewart was placed in a cell at Feltham Young Offenders Institute with Zahid Mubarek, an Asian teenager convicted of petty theft. Hours before Mubarek’s release, he was bludgeoned to death by Stewart.
It is a case that has largely been forgotten since 2006, when a public inquiry found the murder could have been prevented and named 14 prison officers – none of whom received disciplinary action.
Antony Petrou’s We Are Monster, which receives its world premiere at the Edinburgh International Film Festival tonight (June 20) and is nominated for the Michael Powell Award, is an attempt to bring the harrowing case back into the public consciousness and delivers a stylish, gripping prison drama that delves into the fractured mind of a killer.

Like Fight Club and Choke, it looks as though Chuck Palahniuk’s 2011 novel, Snuff, will be getting film treatment. According to Cinemablend, the project has just found financing and will continue along the road to production. Jean Pierre Magro and Dean O’Toole of Kick-Ass production fame will back the film. Golan Ramras and Fabien Martorell (who is also set to direct Snuff) wrote the script....

While "Fight Club" will probably always be the high bar never to be reached again for adaptations of Chuck Palahniuk's work on the big screen, filmmakers will keep trying. "Choke" came and went and was mostly a disappointment, but "Snuff" should be an interesting gamble. The author's book about an aging porn star who decides to cap off her career by having sex with 600 men in one day, with the story told through the eyes of three men who are lining up to do the deed with her, should be challenging to say the least. And while we never thought financing would come through for a project that presumably has a very niche appeal, money is coming.

French helmer Fabien Martorell is set to adapt and direct Snuff written by NY Times Best seller/cult sensation Chuck Palahniuk.
Martorell will direct the script that he co-wrote with Golan Ramras. Producers Jean Pierre Magro and Dean O’Toole will finance and produce through their London-based Immortal Transmedia along with Ramras, Martorell and Aperture Entertainment's Adam Goldworm.
Snuff is described as "an R-rated story of love and redemption set in the green room of the world's biggest gang bang; porn priestess Cassie Wright intends to cap her legendary career by breaking the world record for serial fornication on camera with 600 men. Snuff unfolds from the perspectives of Mr. 72, Mr. 137, and Mr. 600, who await their turn on camera and are each connected to Cassie in strange ways. Like in all of Palahniuk's twisted tales, nobody is who they seem to be and things are going to get worse before they get better.
