Michael Rooker and Bruce Willis go head-to-head as Warden Devlin and convict Julius Lobe, respectively, in Corrective Measures, Tubi's original adaptation of Arcana Studio's graphic novel of the same name.
The trailer shows the action is set in San Tiburon, an Ubermax prison somewhere in the Great Northwest. All manner of supervillains and monsters are kept under wraps at the facility thanks to 24-hour power inhibitors and shock collars. Rooker's Devlin is just as corrupt as the prisoners under his care, as his true interest lies in finding an untraceable fortune belonging to Willis' notorious super genius "The Lobe," who isn't too interested in parting with it.
Into this tense situation drops a revenge-driven vigilante named Payback (Dan Payne, Watchmen) and driver Diego Diaz (Brennan Mejia, Power Rangers), who has been incarcerated on trumped-up charges. Making matters worse, The Conductor (Tom Cavanagh, The Flash) has shocking plans of his own that shatter the fragile peace even further. Also starring Kat Ruston (The 100) and Hayley Sales (Deadpool 2), Corrective Measures bills itself as "the story of an everyman's journey into darkness."
Helming the Tubi original film is Sean Patrick O'Reilly, the owner and operator of Arcana, who acts as the film's writer, director, and producer. "Corrective Measures is a project I've been wanting to see come to life from the pages of Arcana's graphic novel series for a long time," said O'Reilly when the project was announced by Tubi in 2021. "Overseeing this project from script to screen has been an incredible journey, and to have my live-action directing debut at this level with so many talented cast and crew is truly a dream come true. Directing, writing and producing Corrective Measures was such an incredible experience and I cannot think of a better partner than Fox and Tubi for Arcana's launch into live-action productions."
Rooker is known for portraying Yondu Udonta in the Guardians of the Galaxy film franchise, part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He has also teamed up with writer/director James Gunn on other projects, portraying Savant in Warner Bros. and DC's The Suicide Squad in 2021. Willis has appeared in dozens of hit films throughout his career, from the Die Hard franchise to Rian Johnson's Looper, among others. It was recently announced by the actor's family that Willis will step away from acting after being diagnosed with Aphasia.
