"Pompeii" is the story of a Celtic gladiator, who falls in love with a woman as the threat of a volcanic eruption looks set to destroy the famous city, reported Digital Spy.
The 48-year-old director's latest movie stars Kiefer Sutherland, Kit Harington and Emily Browning.
The film has been acquired by Filmdistrict.
"'Pompeii' is the kind of big and bold film we all love to go to the movies to experience. We believe the film's scope and storyline will resonate well with US moviegoers," said FilmDistrict's Peter Schlessel.
The thriller will release on February 28, 2014.
