Resident Evil director Paul W S Anderson‘s latest movie Pompeii has been acquired by FilmDistrict.

The drama stars Kiefer Sutherland, Game of Thrones actor Kit Harington and Sucker Punch‘s Emily Browning.
The thriller is due to be released on February 28, 2014 in the US, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Pompeii chronicles a Celtic gladiator who falls in love with a noblewoman, as the threat of a volcanic eruption looks set to destroy the famous city.

Pompeii is the kind of big and bold film we all love to go to the movies to experience,” said FilmDistrict’s Peter Schlessel.

“We believe the film’s scope and storyline will resonate well with US moviegoers, and we are pleased to once again team with Sony on bringing a film to theaters and beyond.”

The screenplay for Pompeii, which is currently in production, was written by Lee Batchler, Janet Scott Batchler, Michael Robert Johnson and Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes.
