Film deal hits the spot for city paintball firm
A PAINTBALL firm based in the Capital has agreed a tie-in deal with 20th Century Fox to promote a film about an international assassin.

Nationwide Paintball - a spin-off from Edinburgh company Bedlam - is to be advertised by Fox with its latest film Hitman, which is due to be released later this year. Roman Rock, who runs Bedlam with his father, said the deal would help to boost business for Nationwide, which takes bookings all over the country through Nationwide Paintball UK - the very best paintball and paintballing venues throughout the UK

He said: "There will be a Hitman competition where anyone who books a game will be automatically entered into a prize draw to win a paintball weekend in St Petersburg." Mr Rock senior added: "The Nationwide idea really does have great potential."

Mr Rock, who launched Bedlam 17 years ago, said earlier this month he hoped to double the company's profits, and unveiled plans for expansion into the USA.

Hitman, starring Scottish actor Dougray Scott, is about an international assassin who works for a mysterious organisation.
