"Summit Entertainment has hired director Jeff Wadlow to helm its upcoming sci-fi action film Arena, says The Hollywood Reporter.  The movie revolves around a group of modern-day soldiers who are suddenly transported to an alternative landscape where they are pitched against gladiatorial warriors from different eras of history.  Wadlow, who helmed 2008&amp;#039;s Never Back Down, had been scheduled to direct The Tomb for Summit until the project stalled. He previously co-wrote and made teenage horror Cry Wolf. Newcomers Toby Wagstaff and Darren Howell have penned the screenplay, while Monster-In-Law&amp;#039;s Chris Bender and J.C. Spink will share producing duties.
