Since 2003, WWE has produced its own film productions. Instead of focusing on wrestling movies, WWE produces movies that are non-wrestling related. WWE and Vince McMahon were credited for production of the films The Scorpion King, The Rundown and Walking Tall all starring The Rock (Dwayne Johnson).
WWE Films has since ventured in on their own, releasing, See No Evil, a horror movie, starring Kane and also The Marine, an action movie starring John Cena. WWE has also noted that Steve Austin has agreed to star in three movie deals, the first being The Condemned.
