Saban Films has acquired its second film, taking North American rights to the Tayler Lautner parkour thriller. FilmNation handles international sales.

Lautner reunites with his Twilight producers Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey of Temple Hill Entertainment, who produce alongside D Scott Lumpkin.

The story centres on a New York bike messenger indebted to the Mob. Marie Avgeropoulos also stars. Saban brokered the deal with WME Global.

Saban Films launched on the eve of Cannes where it picked up its first film, Tommy Lee Jones’ The Homesman, which will open on November 7.
