The slate has development support from the Philippines-based creative agency Psyops8 and is expected to tap into incentives and location support from the Film Development Council of the Philippines (Fdcp).

Review by Matthew Turner
Director Doug Liman follows up Edge of Tomorrow with this stripped down Iraqi sniper thriller that plays like an Iraq War version of Joel Schumacher’s Phone Booth.
Set in 2007 – at the tail-end of the war, with Bush having declared victory – the film effectively takes place at a single location. When Army Ranger sharpshooter Sgt Shane Matthews (WWE star John Cena) and his spotter, Sgt Allen “Eyes” Isaac (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) arrive at the scene of a distress call, they discover eight bodies (including civilians and their military liaison officers) lying dead near an unfinished pipeline. After observing the area from a distance for the past 24 hours, Matthews believes it is safe and approaches the bodies, only to take a hit from an unseen sniper that leaves him severely wounded.

The Wall is a psychological thriller that pits a U.S. Army spotter versus one of the most deadly Iraqi insurgent snipers in the middle of the desert. Directed by Doug Liman and written by Dwain Worrell this film takes place in 2007 and follows a sniper tandem played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson and John Cena led into a trap by an Iraqi sniper. The duo are sent to investigate an insurgent attack on a pipeline construction site only to find that it was a trap set up by the most deadliest Iraqi sniper in history.
The majority of this movie takes place in a single set with Aaron Taylor-Johnson hiding behind a wall from a deadly sniper that has mortally wounded his partner. With his radio shot and low on water it becomes a battle of wits and time for survival. At the end of this movie you will feel more...

Doug Liman’s smart thriller pitches a Us soldier into a Spielbergian contest with an Iraqi sniper who has pinned him down by a shattered wall
Screenwriter Dwain Worrell has put together a tough, well-carpentered thriller, directed by Doug Liman, about a Us soldier in the dying days of the Iraq war who is stranded in the desert and engaged in a Spielbergian duel with an unseen Iraqi sniper who has him pinned down next to a shattered wall. According to the vengeful sharpshooter, who has hacked into the soldier’s radio comms, that wall is what remains of an important building. Is he telling the truth?
It’s a smart piece of work, and if it occasionally feels like the world’s best film-school project, that is part of its intelligent minimalism. Perhaps it only really comes into own in its final minutes. Aaron Taylor-Johnson is the Us soldier,...

After a jam-packed weekend of new Specialty releases last week, the tide continues with a full roster of new limited roll-outs just as the summer blockbuster season heads into full swing. The weekend’s largest Specialty debuts include Amazon Studios/Roadside Attractions’ The Wall by Doug Liman and starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson and John Cena, which will open in north of five hundred locations, as well as Bh Tilt’s Lowriders by Ricardo de Montreuil with Eva Longoria, Demián Bichir and Gabriel Chavarria with nearly three hundred runs. Sony Classics is going traditional with the New York and L.A. bow of Diane Lane starrer Paris Can Wait, which the distributor is hoping will tap a collective societal need to escape — in this case, to the French countryside. Cate Blanchett plays 13 different characters in artist-director Julian Rosefeldt’s Manifesto (FilmRise), which is based on his multi-screen installation presented in New York...

Doug Liman seems to be one of the hottest directors in the game at the moment, with his name attached to numerous big projects like Justice League Dark and Chaos Walking (starring Daisy Ridley and Tom Holland). The filmmaker, who delivered beloved comedy Swingers in just his second try at the helm, most recently proved to fans that he can direct a great sci-fi outing, too, with Edge of Tomorrow aka Live Die Repeat, and thankfully, he’s back in the director’s chair for the sequel.
Liman’s latest is The Wall, which features Aaron Taylor-Johnson and John Cena as American soldiers under attack by a legendary Iraqi sniper by the name of Juba, the Angel of Death. The film is a tense exercise in psychological and physical torment on the battlefield as a cat and mouse game is played out in the extreme heat of the desert.

Director Doug Liman’s The Wall is not about Donald Trump’s wall on the Mexican border, the Berlin Wall that symbolized the divide between communist and capitalist countries in the Cold War, or even the Great Wall the Chinese built along their border. No, this wall is the crumbling remains of what was once a building in a contemporary desert war, zone a wall behind which a sniper may be hiding and which later shelters an American serviceman pinned down in that dusty war.
Liman is a skillful film maker but this a decidedly smaller film for the director behind The Bourne Identity and many others. The intimate war drama The Wall starts out in a contemporary desert war zone with a pair of U.S. Army Rangers, Sgt. Allen Isaac (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and Staff Sgt.

With hits like The Bourne Identity, Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Edge of Tomorrow under his belt, director Doug Liman has had the chance to make smaller, more intimate movies in between, and that certainly can be said for The Wall, his latest movie.
The Wall begins with two soldiers, played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson and John Cena, out in the broiling hot Iraqi Desert as the war has come to an end, as they investigate a situation where contractors were killed, presumably by an expert sniper. When the two soldiers get separated, Taylor-Johnson’s Sergeant Allen Isaac ends up stranded behind a wall, the only thing protecting him from the sniper who taps into his ear piece and starts playing mind games with him.
While this is a relatively smaller movie for Liman, it doesn’t lack in the tension and excitement of his earlier films, while also in the...

As directed by Doug Liman, The Wall works as a taut piece of modern American mythos, sprinkled with hefty helpings of genre and jingoism. Set in 2007 at the “end” of the Iraq War, a duo of American soldiers (Aaron Taylor-Johnson and John Cena) get pinned down by an infamous Iraqi sniper whose legend is outweighed only by his accuracy and purported kill count.
While Cena’s Staff Sergeant Matthews lies wounded and exposed, Taylor-Johnson’s Sergeant Isaac takes cover behind a tenuous wall that’s one good push away from toppling over. The Black List script, from Dwain Worrell, utilizes the pseudo-chamber setting nicely while Taylor-Johnson does his best to anchor the intensity of the situation. The young actor still leaves something to be desired, but it is no stretch in saying he’s made some significant strides with solid, interesting turns both here and in last year’s Nocturnal Animals.

Doug Liman’s The Wall faces the same problem as Netflix’s Sand Castle – is there anything left unsaid about an already mass-criticized Iraq invasion? We’ve heard it all. Government debriefings, conspiracy theories, oil-slick motivations. At this point – almost a decade after occupancy began to wind down – what more is there to exploit? Not much, which is why writer Dwain Worrell draws up this cat-and-mouse sniper battle like a modern-times Enemy At The Gates. One location, sun-soaked tension and a maniac shooter with his sights locked on American troopers. Imagine Jonás Cuarón’s Desierto, except instead of Jeffrey Dean Morgan hunting Mexican border crossers, a Middle Eastern man takes exception to the flag-waving “invaders” who just want to “help.”

It’s been the better part of a decade since “Buried,” “Devil,” and “Frozen” (the one about flesh-eating wolves, not the one about princesses) all hit theaters in the same year, and, for a moment there, it almost seemed as though the sub-genre those films share had started to lose its appeal. No such luck. Alas, we are still living in the golden age of single-location thrillers, even if most of them are bronze-level at best. If anything, Doug Liman’s passably entertaining new film suggests that we should brace ourselves for more such contained and claustrophobic exercises in suspense, whether we like them or not.
Arriving in theaters just a few weeks after the similarly scaled “Mine” was buried on VOD, “The Wall” may not be well-structured, but Liman’s latest still serves as an imposing reminder that — as movies get riskier to make and the gulf between blockbusters...

The Wall is a psychological thriller set in Iraq that puts a Us Sniper Tandem against a Sniper that has more in mind than just killing. The trailer reminds me of a combination of some older movies like Enemy At The Gates and Phone Booth. John Cena continues his transition from WWE Superstar to Movie Star in his first film as the main actor since The Reunion. John has seen success in Hollywood playing smaller roles in major movies like Trainwreck and Daddy's Home over the past year. Also starring in this movie is Aaron Taylor Johnson who has seen his rise in fame since starring in films like Kick-Ass, Godzilla, and Avengers: Age of Ultron as Quicksilver.

The Wall is a deadly psychological thriller that follows two soldiers pinned down by an Iraqi sniper, with nothing but a crumbling wall between them. Their fight becomes as much a battle of will and wits as it is of lethally accurate marksmanship.

Starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson, The Wall is an intense-looking thriller from Edge Of Tomorrow director Doug Liman. Here's the first trailer.
Director Doug Liman's last film was the cracking sci-fi flick Edge Of Tomorrow, which starred Tom Cruise as a cowardly soldier trapped in a Groundhog Day-style timewarp. Liman and Cruise are teaming up for a second time in next year's American Made, based on the true story of pilot, drug smuggler and CIA snitch, Barry Seal.

Doug Liman’s new sniper thriller The Wall faces a major marketing problem right out of the gate: How do you get audiences to come see The Wall when something called The Great Wall is waiting right around the corner? How do you convince movie-goers that your Wall, great or not, is still perfectly good?
The answer, apparently, is to take John Cena and Kick-Ass’ Aaron Taylor-Johnson, toss them in the desert, and trap them in a tense face-off that feels a little bit like “Phone Booth In Iraq.” Per the trailer released today by Amazon Studios, the film stars Taylor-Johnson and Cena as a U.S. spotter-sniper team, lured into a trap by an enemy sniper with total control over their desperate situation.

Doug Liman, known for his action-packed films like “Edge of Tomorrow” and “The Bourne Identity,” has a new war drama in the works titled “The Wall.”
Principal photography on the thriller ended last month and now the first trailer has been released by Amazon Studios. Starring John Cena and Aaron Taylor-Johnson, the film follows two soldiers who get shot by an Iraqi sniper, with nothing but a crumbling wall between them. The sneak peek shows the two actors getting hit and trying to stay alive, all while taking direction from the enemy.
“Scope is an extension of my eye. Trigger is an extension of my best. The rifle is an extension of me and I strike you down,” says Cena laying wounded on the ground.

Edge of Tomorrow helmer Doug Liman and Amazon Pictures’ Black List thriller The Wall has today added Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Godzilla, Avengers: Age of Ultron) to its ranks, according to Variety.
Pitched as a “deadly cat and mouse thriller” between an American sharpshooter and a deadly Iraq sniper, Liman’s latest inevitably draws comparisons to Clint Eastwood’s award-winning American Sniper, though the outlet notes that the feature is a much more focused affair. Pinned down by a heap of rubble – hence the title – The Wall has all the makings of a pulse-pounding thriller, rooting the audience in a single location for much of its running time.

Not losing sight of his directorial ambitions, Mathieu Amalric has set his next behind-the-camera effort — and it already sounds like his most fascinating to date. According to Le Figaro (via Richard Brody), he’ll helm and lead Barbara, a biopic-of-sorts of French singer Monique Serf — also known as, well, Barbara — that breaks apart standard approaches to the genre. Consider this the Irma Vep mold, if early word is accurate: Amalric will play a director hoping to make a biopic about Barbara, while Jeanne Balibar is to co-star as the actress leading the film-within-the-film. Per producer Patrick Godeau, it will thus “retain its freedom and impose a point of view.”

Channing Tatum will be playing Gambit - but production on the X-Men spin-off has been delayed...
By now, X-Men spin-off Gambit was supposed to be before the cameras, if not in post-production. The original plan was for the movie to land this autumn, but following the departure of original director Rupert Wyatt, that release date was quickly thrown into doubt.
Subsequently, Doug Liman (Edge Of Tomorrow) has signed up to direct Gambit, and Channing Tatum will be starring in the movie, as originally planned. However, it looks like the screenplay is heading back for surgery. It’s now being reported that further writing work is pushing production of Gambit back until the end of the year, and that makes even a late 2017 release date a tall order.
Such is the delay that Liman will be able to shoot a new movie, The Wall, for Amazon in the gap.

20th Century Fox's solo film based on the card-throwing mutant Gambit has experienced its share of ups and downs on its way to the big screen. Though it's been removed from the studio's release schedule, the project is still in the works with Channing Tatum attached to star and Doug Liman lined up to direct. Now THR reports that Reid Carolin, Tatum's producing partner who wrote Magic Mike and Magic Mike Xxl, is handling rewrites of the Gambit screenplay and the start of filming has been bumped to later this year.
Because of the delay, Liman (The Bourne Identity, Go, Edge of Tomorrow) is now in negotiations to direct a small-scale thriller called The Wall for Amazon Studios.

Hey, remember "Gambit"? That other 20th Century Fox's superhero movie project lost original director Rupert Wyatt pretty late into development last year, but Doug Liman came on board, and the plan was to shoot last fall.

You might have forgotten, but a few years ago, Warner Bros. had an ambitious plan in place to make John Milton's "Paradise Lost" a big 3D movie. Alex Proyas ("Dark City") was going to direct and Bradley Cooper (Lucifer), Djimon Honsou (Abdiel, the angel of death), Casey Affleck (Gabriel, God’s noted messenger and angel), Camilla Belle (Eve), and Callan McAuliffe (Uriel, one of seven archangels) were all slated to star. Pre-production was well underway, and a schedule had been set, but the studio got nervous about the cost and eventually scrapped the movie. But big screen adaptations of classic literature seems to be a thing now (see "The Odyssey") so WB is gonna take another bite at the apple.

Dante's Inferno is being adapted into a film after Warner Bros bought a pitch based on the classic text.
The first part of the poet's Divine Comedy, originally published in 1320, has inspired a movie by screenwriter Dwain Worrell, Deadline reports.
The adaptation will apparently be framed as an "epic love story" and is produced by Gianni Nunnari's Hollywood Gang and Akiva Goldsman's Weed Road.
In the film, Dante will travel through the nine levels of hell to save the woman he loves.
The pitch was brought in to Warner Bros by Nik Mavinkurve and Chantal Nong.
Warners is said to be excited by the scale of the project and the potential for a franchise.

Warner Bros. has snapped up the feature rights for a new take on Dante’s Inferno. Deadline reports that the publisher has acquired the pitch from scribe Dwain Worrell, best known for 2010 low-budget zombie film, Walking the Dead – not to be confused by Robert Kirkman’s genre juggernaut.
Based on Dante Alighieri’s 14th century epic poem, The Divine Comedy, Warner’s adaptation will depict the first third of the seminal tale in which our titular protagonist descends through the nine circles of Hell in order to rescue his beloved Beatrice. Siding with Virgil, the mythic tale begins on Easter weekend in the year 1300.
There’s little-to-no information regarding the style or approach of WB’s modern take on an old classic, considering that an attempt to save Beatrice from the fiery pits of damnation didn’t factor into the original poem. Rather, this arc didn’t become a tenet...

Previously of Elite Squad and RoboCop remake fame, Jose Padilha is to co-write and direct a new sci-fi thriller called Mindcorp...

But Padilha is likely to get freer creative reign with his next project, since it's based on his own original concept rather than a potentially blockbusting pre-existing one.

As lead investor and former Facebook General Counsel and Chief Privacy Officer Chris Kelly today stepped in as interim head of the curated film streaming service Fandor after CEO Ted Hope left for another gig, speculation is building on where Hope will go next. We’re hearing it might be a top post at Amazon Studios steering its fledgling film production unit. Hope took the Fandor job last January with the intention of doing for festival and foreign films what Netflix does for mainstream film and TV series. Before that he ran the San Francisco Film Society and prior to that he had a number of producing gigs, and in the 90s formed Good Machine with James Schamus and become a force in indie fare.

It’s a psychological thriller about the showdown between two snipers in Iraq, and it was written by a Barbados-born, Boston-raised American living in Beijing, who submitted it through Amazon Studios’ website, where it was discovered by a development executive in La. The story is called The Wall, based on the only cover the snipers have as their drama unfolds, as well as the more symbolic barrier that has turned the two men – one American, one Iraqi – into enemies.
The Concept/Logline: The Wall tells the story of an American sniper team, isolated and pinned behind cover by a legendary Iraqi sniper. But what starts as a simple shootout soon becomes a twisted game of psychological warfare.
Why Amazon Studios Optioned It: We optioned The Wall because it’s riveting. That’s pretty remarkable for a movie with only a couple of characters and a single location. The interplay between...
