The English-language movie is an Italian production by Sky Italia, Lock & Valentine and Sergio Bonelli Editore, and stars Katrina Bowden (Piranha 3D, Scary Movie 5). It will be distributed in Japan (Zazie), South Korea (Entermode), Turkey (Bir Film), the Middle East (IFD), Thailand, Malaysia and the Philippines (Suraya). Negotiations are ongoing with the United States, Canada, China and Spain.
