Paramount Pictures has made a deal to produce a big-screen adaptation of sister company Spike TV’s original hit series “Deadliest Warrior.” 

Screenhead sponsored a Giveaway with Spike TV when the series was just beginning to catch viewer’s interest.

You might have hard about the television series “Deadliest Warrior”  where the show pits history’s greatest warriors against one another to determine who reigns supreme. Along with the use of 21st century science and the latest in CGI technology, the series enlists world-class fighters, historians and weapons experts to provide insight into the unique history and style of these combatants which culminates in a head-to-head final fight between two warriors. Thus, it is declared which one would have been the deadliest. The first two seasons showed such memorable battles as Spartan vs. Ninja, Viking vs. Samurai, Pirate vs. Knight, Yakuza vs. Mafia and Comanche vs. Mongol.

As far as the film’s storyline is being kept under wraps. I will be interesting to see how the story unravels from the television series perspective.

Speculations are that Shawn Levy might direct. The property fits within Levy and 21 Laps’ ongoing expansion from family comedies to event action movies, following the Night and the Museum franchise and Levy’s current action drama Real Steel with Hugh Jackman for DreamWorks.
