When aliens crash in
your hometown, who’s going to protect it? Yes, that’s right, Dave Bautista. Oh,
thank the space gods.
According to Deadline,
Dave Bautista has just signed on for Universe’s
Most Wanted, a new film directed by Brad Peyton (Rampage), in a role that will have Bautista continue his acting
career as a dude from space who beats up other dudes quite well. The film, set
in a small town, will tell the story of a group of notorious space!criminals
who crash land and hole up in the peaceful settlement.
Enter Bautista, who
plays an intergalactic peacekeeper who is on the hunt for these alien
criminals. Alongside the son of the local sheriff, Bautista will have to keep
these villains in line and get them off our planet. It sounds fun, and a more
interesting hook than Peyton’s past work like Rampage
or San Andreas (though both were
great if your favorite premise is “Dwayne Johnson does stuff”).

CAA Media Finance in the next few weeks.
