Lionsgate to Play an Ultra-Violent Game of Assassins

Stop me if you’ve heard this one… several strangers wake up not knowing how they got to their location and they must play a deadly game in order to survive. Nope, totally new ground, right? Well… at least this time our heroes have to fight their way out!

Lionsgate and Grindstone Entertainment have acquired all US rights to director Matt Eskandari’s Game of Assassins (formerly titled The Gauntlet). Bai Ling (Crank), Warren Kole (“The Following”), and Dustin Nguyen (21 Jump St) star.

Wellington Sun, Daniel Wei, Jonathan Shih, Matt Eskandari, and Adam Lawson produce; the script is by Lawson.

Synopsis
In a sunken fortress beneath the earth, five strangers awaken. They have no food, no water, no memory, and no way out. They must band together to survive the sinister adventure that awaits them.
