"Saw" director James Wan has signed on to helm "Death Sentence" for Hyde Park Entertainment and 20th Century Fox says The Hollywood Reporter.
Penned by Ian Jeffers, the story centers on a father out for revenge after his family is attacked in a senseless and heinous gang-initiation crime. The father enacts a death sentence on each perpetrator involved with the crime.
