Lionsgate has acquired domestic rights to the survival thriller “Titan” from north.five.six. and Constantin Film, TheWrap has exclusively learned.

The film recently wrapped production in Colombia. “Titan” stars Kiana Madeira (“Fear Street” trilogy) and Jessica Rothe and Logan Marshall-Green. The film also stars Will Close and Jackson Bews.

“Titan” is set against the backdrop of Brazil’s Curuçá River in the present day. When a team of young doctors embark on a local humanitarian mission through the Amazon rainforest, it soon becomes clear that not everyone – or everything – is happy to see them. Their arrival draws the attention of an ancient predator, the “Boiúna.” This ancient killer, dominant on land and water, clashes with the group to reclaim the jungle. What follows is a fight for survival in which the roles of hunter, prey and hero become unpredictable.

The film is written by Tony Giglio and Alan McElroy.

One of gaming's biggest and baddest franchises, Resident Evil, arguably wouldn't exist without the man who revitalized horror and zombie cinema in 1968 with Night of the Living Dead. It only makes sense that at the turn of the millennium, when Capcom partnered with Sony to create a feature film adaptation of their hit zombie video game series, they chose the one and only person best suited for the job: George A. Romero.

Like so many other video game adaptations, though, this would never see the light of day. This left fans with unanswered questions for years and gave the world a series of films largely unfaithful to the source material until Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City tried to remedy their misdeeds. Romero's film is the subject of an upcoming documentary that looks to unearth the secrets that led to the failure of one of gaming's biggest "what ifs?...

The actor, who joined Discovery Season 5 in the antagonistic role of L'ak, opened up during a conversation with TrekCulture (via ComicBookMovie.com) about how he appreciates Discovery for always taking "giant leaps" and not being afraid to shake things up each season. "One thing I always appreciated about [Discovery] was, 'Let’s take these giant leaps of ideas and take these giant leaps'… Like, let’s throw it way in the future [in season 3]. Why not? And then you get all these different ships and what’s the Federation like, and all that stuff. The Burn was fascinating, whether you liked how it ended, whatever, it was a really interesting idea."
