Dave Bautista’s new movie, titled The Killer’s Game, opens
up in theaters nationwide today.
The movie is centered around a hit man, played by Bautista,
who is diagnosed with a terminal illness and decides to take
a hit out on himself. But the story takes a twist when the
medical diagnosis he received was incorrect and he has to
fend off an army of assassins who are after him and his ex-
girlfriend.
The movie also features the debut of Drew McIntyre in a
feature film, playing the role of Rory Mackenzie. Sofia
Boutella, Terry crews, Scott Adkins, Marko Zero, Pom
Klementieff, and Ben Kingsley are the other stars with
leading roles.
The movie is directed by J. J. Perry and is based on the
book by the same title from Jay Bonansinga. It’s distributed
by Lionsgate.
Lionsgate held a special screening of the movie at Regal LA
Live in Los Angeles a few days ago where several wrestling
personalities showed up to support Bautista and McIntyre,
including Bayley, Cathy Kelley, and Mercedes Mone.
At the event, Bautista told Kelley how proud he is of
McIntyre for an amazing job he did in the movie.
“People are going to be blown away by Drew in this,” he
said. “He’s so funny, and he’s just so charismatic. It was
perfect. And I’ve known Drew for a very long time and we’ve
stayed in touch well before this. I watched Drew grow up in
this business. I’m super proud of him, man. I’m proud of
what he’s accomplished.”
Meanwhile, Mercedes Mone also wrote about attending the
premiere this week in her newsletter, saying that she was
tired after multiple events but supporting her friends is a
priority and just like how Naomi, Bayley, and Tamika flew
around the world to support her, she’ll do the same.
“So, when I got the invite for the premiere of The Killer’s
Game starring my friend Drew McIntyre, you bet I was gonna
be there to support,” Mone wrote. “Ditto for Bayley, who
also flew in. It’s always great to see Pam (Bayley), even in
these quick spurts. Along with seeing her and Drew, I got to
see another old friend, Cathy Kelley, who looked as
beautiful as ever doing her thing.”
