Even though THE MARINE didn't set the box office on fire, WWE Films is not quite ready to do the inevitable and release their movies straight to video. Their latest offering is THE CONDEMNED and it stars "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and Vinnie Jones as a couple of dangerous convicts thrown on an island with 8 other dangerous convicts. No, they don't explore a hatch and have flashbacks to their lives before they got on the island. Instead, they participate in a to-the-death competition which will be broadcast live on the Internet.THE CONDEMNED is pretty much this generation's THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME mixed with THE RUNNING MAN. I'm a sucker for a premise like this and I enjoy Vinnie Jones but Steve Austin always strikes me as a total void. Anytime I see him he's either drinking beer or flipping people off and I get enough of that when I walk into the local "ampm." I wish they could have dumped Austin and gotten some other wrestler, like that guy who pretends to be a tard. He has stage presence that can't be taught.
THE CONDEMNED will open to horrible reviews on April 27th. The film has an official site but at this point it's just a trailer and a clock counting down until the release date. You can visit that site here or by typing in the web address watchthemdielive.com.
