Dave Bautista has booked another movie titled The Killer’s
Game, an action comedy flick which Lionsgate has just
purchased the worldwide rights for.
Directed by JJ Perry and based on Jay Bonansinga’s book, the
movie follows a veteran assassin named Joe Flood, played by
Bautista, who is diagnosed with a life-threatening illness
and authorizes a kill on himself to avoid the pain that is
destined to follow. The plot twist is that after he
commissions the kill, he finds out that he was misdiagnosed
and must then fend off the army of former colleagues trying
to kill him.
The former World Heavyweight champion and future Hall of
Famer will also be executive producer on the movie along
with Jonathan Meisner. Scott Lambert, Jake Katofsky, and
Vanessa Humphrey will serve as co-producers. Rand Ravich and
Simon Kinberg wrote the film along with James Coyne who did
rewrites.
Bautista is currently featured in Guardians of the Galaxy
Vol 3 where he plays the character of Drax the Destroyer.
