UFC fighter Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone stars in the upcoming zombie film Project Legion, which is set to receive a theatrical release on October 7th, with an Apple TV release following just four days later on October 11th. With those dates just a few weeks away, a trailer for Project Legion has arrived online and can be seen in the embed above.
Lance Kawas (Good Thief) directed Project Legion from a screenplay he crafted with John Sullivan, Michael Pizzimenti, and James Raptoplous. Apparently they put together quite an epic, because Apple has the movie listed with a running time of 2 hours and 38 minutes. The story told over those 158 minutes has the following synopsis:
Feral creatures that prey on humans have descended upon the city. A furious fight for survival begins as the outside world descends into chaos and a former Marine (UFC superstar Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone), barricaded inside his apartment, prepares to come out fighting.

Director: Lance Kawas.
Writer: Mark Bierlein.
Restitution is an indie neo-noir thriller that is set in Detroit, Michigan where anything can happen. And that anything is Tom Arnold playing an ex-Marine sharpshooter.

Studio: Monterey Media
Mena Suvari might be involved in her ex-boyfriend's murder in Restitution.
The 2011 independent crime thriller movie Restitution opens on a picturesque city on the shores of Michigan, where a series of mysterious murders has an unlikely but common thread — Bryan Spikes, a hired insurance fraud investigator who is inexplicably killed and then framed for the crimes.
A year later, writer Alex Forrester (Mark Bierlein, Street Boss) arrives in the city researching the case for a book. As Alex begins uncovering the truth behind the murder, his informants start turning up dead, and he soon learns that he may be next on the list. Maybe Alex should look closer at Bryan’s ex-girlfriend (Mena Suvari, Hemingway’s Garden of Eden) or his new overly friendly ex-sharpshooter neighbor (Tom Arnold, True Lies).
