Jason Momoa is Making a Buddy Cop Movie with Dave Bautista

Sometimes you can just will things into existence. Dave Bautista recently shared a post on Twitter where he said, “Just going to throw this out into the atmosphere and see what happens. Here we go… Me and Momoa in a Lethal Weapon type buddy cop movie directed by David Leitch. Ok! There it is. Now we wait.”

Well, Jason Momoa recently appeared on an episode of The Late Late Show, and there he was asked if he is really making a buddy cop movie with his See and Dune co-star, Dave Bautista. This was his response:

“I’m not even going to lie to you. I’m not on Twitter, but he literally texted me about four days ago going, ‘We need to do a buddy cop film. We love each other. We obviously met on See, we’re on Dune together, and so I said, ‘Absolutely.'”

Momoa went on to say that Bautista proposed shooting the film in Hawaii and he said, "Let’s do it. I’ve got an idea. So, it’s off to the races now. We’re doing it.” He went on to add, “It sells itself. Dave loves wearing speedos, I love wearing board shorts and both of us with our shirts off [in a] buddy cop film, he’ll be grumpy and I’ll be charming. Boom. I’ve got the hair, he doesn’t have hair. We cover all the demographics.”

It’s really not that hard to imagine a buddy cop movie starring these guys. It really does sell itself! This is a movie that fans and audiences would love to see. It’ll be fun to see how this all comes together and what exactly this movie ends up being.

If you were to pitch a Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista buddy cop film, what would it be?
