Dave Bautista Set to Star in the Sci-Fi Fantasy Adventure Film UNIVERSE'S MOST WANTED
Dave Bautista is set to star in an upcoming sci-fi fantasy adventure film titled Universe’s Most Wanted. The film is currently in pre-production and the rights to it were recently picked up by STXfilms.
The movie is set to be directed by Brad Peyton (Rampage, San Andreas) from a screenplay by F. Scott Frazier (xXx: Return of Xander Cage) and Jimmy Loweree. This actually sounds like it tells a really cool and fun story!
The story centers on “a small town that gets a big surprise when a spaceship carrying the universe’s most wanted and dangerous criminals crash lands in their backyard. Soon the sheriff and his son become heroes when they find themselves helping an intergalactic peacekeeper (Bautista) to keep the ragtag group of alien prisoners from escaping and taking over the world.”
Adam Fogelson, chairman of STXfilms Motion Picture Group said in a statement:
“It’s a thrill to be working with old and new friends on this movie. After successfully collaborating with Dave Bautista on ‘My Spy’ and with AGC on our upcoming comedy ‘Queenpins,’ it’s great to be back in business with these frequent collaborators. And we’re enormously excited to be working with Brad Peyton, whose proven talent for creating action-packed, fun adventures with plenty of comedy will make this movie a must-see event.”
Stuart Ford, chairman of AGC studios, added:
“We’re thrilled at STX’s passion for ‘Universe’s Most Wanted’ and look forward to working alongside Adam, Sam, and the team as we move towards production and hopefully enable Brad and the team to make an exciting movie.”
