And when said film is called The Tomb, well the headlines would just write themselves, so it's not too surprising to learn that the prison break thriller has now undergone a change of title, and will instead hit cinemas as Escape Plan.

The Tomb Escape Plan is directed by Mikael Håfström (1408, The Rite) and sees Stallone as Ray Breslin, the world's foremost authority on structural security, who finds himself incarcerated in an escape-proof prison of his own design.

In addition, FilmDistrict has moved director James Wan's horror sequel Insidious Chapter 2 from September 20 to September 13. Both films will now go up against Machete Kills and Battle of The Year: The Dream Team.

FilmDistrict filled the September 20 vacancy left by Insidious Chapter 2 right away, slotting the new comedy Walk of Shame in that space. The comedy starring Elizabeth Banks is going up against Prisoners and Rush.

In a final piece of release date news, Austenland has been slated for limited release on August 16, where it will go up against Kick-Ass 2, »
