Paramount Adapting Deadliest Warrior Series into a Movie

HOLLYWOOD: Paramount Pictures is taking the hit Spike TV series Deadliest Warrior from 21 Laps Entertainment to the big screen as a feature film.

The film’s story line is being kept under wraps, but the series, which just scored a third-season renewal, pits history’s greatest warriors against one another to determine who reigns supreme. Shawn Levy and 21 Laps’ president, Dan Levine, will produce the film.

"Spike has some of the most innovative and forward-thinking content on television today, Deadliest Warrior being no exception," said Adam Goodman, the president of Paramount film group. "The property has proven its ability to engage audiences across multiple platforms. We hope this is the first of much future collaboration with Spike."
