Signature Entertainment has acquired the U.K. and Irish rights to “Skyline: Warpath” the action sci-fi sequel starring Scott Adkins (“John Wick: Chapter 4”) and Iko Uwais (“The Raid” franchise) from Palisades Park Pictures.

Written and directed by Liam O’Donnell (“Beyond Skyline”), the film also stars Yayan Ruhian (“The Raid: Redemption”) and Charlotte Vega (“Wrong Turn”) and was produced by Matthew E. Chausse (“Harvest”) and Evangelo Kioussis (“American Star”), while Peter Choi (“More, More, More”), Arvin Sutedja (“Qodrat”), Danny R. Carmona and Victor Presinal served as executive producers.

Set within the “Skyline” universe and two years after the events of “Beyond Skyline,” “Skyline: Warpath” follows Sua as he leads The Resistance against the invading aliens. When he discovers the powerful alien Radial Gauntlet, he must deal with both the corrupt Eric and the army of alien invaders.

The deal was negotiated between Signature’s acquisitions manager Begüm Kayacan Parodi and Palisades’ co-founder and CEO Tamara Birkemoe. Ashland Hill Media Finance is also a financier on the film, which completed filming in Indonesia earlier this year. XYZ Films has acquired U.S. rights to the film. 

“We’re always looking for quality commercial sci-fi at Signature, and after our success with ‘Beyond Skyline,’ we’re thrilled to partner with Liam O’Donnell once more to bring the latest instalment in the expansive ‘Skyline’ franchise to the UK and Ireland next year,” said Parodi. “We’re sure audiences will love seeing Iko Uwais face off not just against The Harvesters, but a worthy adversary in the form of the U.K.’s own martial arts master, Scott Adkins.”

Added Palisades’ vice president of distribution & marketing, Kyle Bellinger: “We are thrilled to have Signature on board to bring’ ‘Skyline: Warpath’ to fans and moviegoers. Liam and the team have created another high-octane entry to this popular franchise, complete with all the hard-hitting Sci-Fi action from martial arts icons, Iko Uwais and Scott Adkins.”
