Reported by Ernest I Aguilar

WWE announced today that its film division will co-distribute the movie The Day along with Anchor Bay Films. WWE Studios bought the rights for the movie at the Toronto Film Festival.

The Day was one of the most buzzed-about films at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival's Midnight Madness section. The film stars Shawn Ashmore from The X-Men trilogy, Dominic Monaghan from Lost, Shannyn Sossamon from A Knight's Tale, and Ashley Bell from The Last Exorcism.

"With the incredible audience reaction it saw at Toronto, we knew that The Day would be a great addition to our brand," said WWE Studios President, Michael Luisi. "By combining the marketing power of our television, digital/social media and print assets with Anchor Bay's tremendous distribution capabilities and successful track record, we look forward to bringing this film to a broad audience."
