Anchor Bay Films has landed U.S. and Canadian theatrical and home entertainment rights to Maximum Conviction, an action pic starring Steven Seagal and Steve Austin. The deal for the movie — directed by Keoni Waxman and produced by Seagal, Austin and Phillip Goldfine — was done with Voltage Pictures, which is repping international rights. In the film, Seagal and Austin work for a private security firm charged with decommissioning an old prison. They all but complete the task until two mysterious female prisoners arrive, followed by elite mercenaries who are hunting them down. Benjamin Sacks, Scott Kennedy and Waxman executive produced with co-exec producer Binh Dang.


WOW SCORE! Anchor Bay really is bringing the heat in terms of quality!
totally agree, BUT Anchor Bay HAS actually stepped it up in the last year or so of its acquisitions… they’ve been filling the theatrical void created by Relativity buying Overture, so they’ve had to move beyond movies like this, but alas… old habits die hard. They’re buying some interesting movies and some that haven’t been leaked to the trades that are pretty dope.
On what planet does this constitute “news”?
That should be one fine craft service table.
Kudos to comedymaven.
Anchor Bay is garbage. They buy product nobody else wants. Often as a favor to someone.
This must have been slightly more difficult than ordering a drink at Starbucks.
But seriously though, the man is a walking joke now. He’s a tall sack of fat and muscles, and can’t act worth crap. And he treats the entire crew like garbage, harasses women on set, and gets treated like the royalty he’s not.
Austin is known to be a hardworker on set unlike segal. Austin needs to get a good project soon because he is better than this pap
