Possible New Role For Kellan Lutz in 'Deathgames'

Kellan Lutz is in talks to star in an indie action movie called Deathgames alongside Samuel L. Jackson. Visual effects supervisor Jonah Loop (Collateral and A Perfect Getaway) will make his directorial debut with the film which will begin shooting next month in Louisiana.

The story centers on a young man (Lutz) who is kidnapped and forced into the savage world of a modern gladiator arena, where men fight to the death for entertainment of the online masses. Jackson orchestrates the games, overseeing them from his computer lair with the help of twin ladies who see to his every desire.

Lutz, who appears in the upcoming remake of "A Nightmare on Elm Street," next week begins shooting the Dermot Mulroney-directed romantic comedy "Keep It Together [Love, Wedding, Marriage]" opposite Mandy Moore. "Together" also is shooting in Louisiana, and the Innovative-repped actor will segue from that straight to "Deathsport." In June, Lutz moves to "Immortals," Relativity's Greek myth fantasy in which he plays Poseidon.
