Paramount Reigns Supreme With Spike TV's "Deadliest Warrior"

Paramount reports it has cut a deal for 21 Laps Entertainment to produce a big-screen adaptation of Spike TV's original series "Deadliest Warrior", recently renewed for a third television season.

The partnership between Paramount and Spike TV marks the first time the Viacom owned companies have worked together.

"Spike has some of the most innovative and forward-thinking content on television today," said Paramount Film Group President Adam Goodman.

"Deadliest Warrior" pits history's greatest warriors against one another to determine who 'reigns supreme', enlisting world-class fighters, historians and weapons experts to provide insight into the style of combatants, culminating in a head-to-head final fight between two warriors.

The first two seasons included the battles, 'Spartan vs. Ninja', 'Viking vs. Samurai', 'Pirate vs. Knight', 'Yakuza vs. Mafia' and 'Comanche vs. Mongol'.

21 Laps President Dan Levine will produce.
