Through a deal finalized at the 70th Cannes International Film Festival, the distribution company and all-horror streaming service have jointly acquired the movie&#8217;s theatrical and On Demand rights.<\/p>\n<p>The acquisition of the thriller&#8217;s North American distribution rights comes after it premiered at this year&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/2017\/05\/10\/sxsw-interview-dave-cavalier-exclusive\/\">SXSW<\/a> to positive reviews. RLJ Entertainment plans to release &#8216;Mayhem&#8217; in theaters and On Demand during the last quarter of this year, and Shudder will premiere the action drama during early 2018. Mark Ward, RLJ Entertainment&#8217;s Chief Acquisitions Officer, and Aurelie de Troyer, Shudder&#8217;s VP of Global Acquisitions and Co-Productions, made the announcement about the acquisition.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Joe Lynch&#8217;s vision is captivating,&#8221; said Ward. &#8220;He has the ability to take stories and elevate them with his unique insight and direction.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8216;Mayhem&#8217; is bold, fun, irreverent and incredibly fast on its feet,&#8221; said de Troyer.  &#8220;Steve Yeun and Samara Weaving deliver stunning performances. It&#8217;s a perfect fit for Shudder.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8216;Mayhem&#8217; is a very personal film for us that has affected and engaged festival audiences looking for some insane, cathartic fun in these trying times,&#8221; said Lynch. &#8220;With RLJ Entertainment and Shudder working together to bring MAYHEM to the masses, I am confident that this crazy flick will find its audience in the best way possible.  It will be for viewers who want the choice of a big, bold, loud theatrical experience but it will also have the convenience and careful curation of Shudder&#8217;s fantastic service. As a fan and customer of Shudder, I am proud to know that we are in great company. &#8216;Mayhem&#8217; is coming for you all soon enough!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The horror movie was written by Matias Caruso, and stars <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/2016\/08\/15\/the-walking-dead-the-complete-sixth-season-blu-ray-giveaway-chronicles-fight-for-survival-and-home\/\">Steven Yeun<\/a>, <strong>Samara Weaving<\/strong>, Steven Brand and Dallas Roberts. The thriller was produced by Avva Pictures&#8217; Mehrdad Elie and Parisa Caviani, along with Circle of Confusion&#8217;s Lawrence Mattis and Matt Smith.<\/p>\n<p>In &#8216;Mayhem,&#8217; an airborne virus infects the corporate tower of a major law firm on the day attorney Derek Saunders (Yeun) is wrongfully fired. The infection is capable of making people act out on their &#8220;mosterratic&#8221; impulses and viral rage takes over.  Trapped in the quarantined building, Saunders is forced to fearlessly fight for his job, his redemption and his life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Genre expert Joe Lynch is bringing his chaotic sense of &#8216;Mayhem&#8216; to national audiences, as RLJ Entertainment and AMC Networks&#8216; Shudder have partnered on the North American release of the director&#8217;s new action movie.
