John Cena To Star in The Action-Comedy FREELANCE From TAKEN Director Pierre Morel
F9: The Fast Saga and The Suicide Squad star John Cena is in negotiations to star in an upcoming action comedy titled Freelance, which comes from Taken director Pierre Morel.
The story follows “a special forces operator (Cena) who decides to retire from the Army and start a family back in the states. After several years of mortgage payments, school drop offs, backyard barbecues and trying to conform to life in suburbia, he decides to come out of retirement to take a gig providing security for a female journalist as she interviews a cruel dictator who may or may not have ordered the attack on him and his men. When a military coup breaks out in the middle of the interview, the three are forced to escape into the jungle where they must survive the elements, the military and one another.”
Yeah, this sounds like the kind of fun action movie that John Cena would want to jump into. The movie will be produced on a $40 million budget and it will start shooting early next year in Colombia.
