WWE LEGEND BILL GOLDBERG TO STAR IN POLITICAL ACTION THRILLER “CHECK POINT,” RELEASING THROUGH VISION FILMS TO NORTH AMERICAN THEATERS JANUARY 29 2017 

BILL GOLDBERG, WHO ALSO PRODUCED “CHECK POINT,” IS CELEBRATING A STAGGERING VICTORY OVER BROCK LESNAR AT THE WWE SURVIVOR SERIES 

Santa Monica, CA – WWE legend Bill Goldberg, who today celebrates a staggering victory against Brock Lesnar at the Survivor Series last night, will star in Political Action Thriller film “Check Point,” coming to theaters in North America on January 29 2017, courtesy of Vision Films.  Bill Goldberg stars alongside Kenny Johnson (“The Shield,” “Sons of Anarchy”), William Forsythe (“Boardwalk Empire”, “Raising Arizona,”), former football defense back Fred “The Hammer” Williamson (“From Dusk Till Dawn,” “Starsky & Hutch”), professional wrestler Tyler Mane (“X-Men,” “Halloween”), Michelle Lee (“Pacific Rim,” “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides”), Mel Novak (“Game of Death,” Samurai Cop 2”), Kane Hodder (“Friday the 13th”) Ricky Harris (“Heat”) and Mindy Robinson (“Book of Fire”). 

Set and filmed in Wilmington, North Carolina, CHECK POINT follows a local vagrant (Kenny Johnson) who discovers a  ‘sleeper cell’ home-grown Terrorist plot in a small town where everyone knows each other, or so they thought. Along with his best friend T.J (Bill Goldberg), he gathers a team of unlikely heroes who must rise up to fight the enemy and protect their country.  Directed by Thomas J. Churchill, Bill Goldberg and Kenny Johnson produced the film alongside Niko Foster, and AJ Perez, who also penned the script. AJ Perez says: “The idea for the film came from a news report about 2 US airmen who were indicted for attempting to join a terrorist group. It brought up the question of what if; anything of this magnitude could really take place, when our own people turn on one another, what would really happen? This is actually a scary reality today, in light of our election.” 

CHECK POINT is a Chasing Butterflies Pictures production with Vision Films handling international sales. Deals have been closed for rights in China (Hualu), Hong Kong (Fox International) and Mexico (CPC ltd) at the annual American Film Market (AFM) in Santa Monica.

Vision Films’ Managing Director/ CEO, Lise Romanoff says: Bill Goldberg’s knockout WWE win last night highlights his successful return as a worldwide wrestling champion.  The timing couldn’t be more perfect for Vision to announce his debut movie role in this ripped-from-the-headlines-edge-of-your-seat thriller, Check Point. Kenny Johnson and Bill Goldberg make a great duo, and Bill is poised to be a breakout action movie star.  

Vision Films and Chasing Butterflies Pictures will host screening events on military bases, and a limited theatrical release nationwide from January 29 2017.
