As first reported by Collider, Dave Bautista is set to star in Killer’s Game. Based on the novel by Jay Bonansinga, the former WWE superstar will play a veteran assassin named Joe Flood. After being told that he only has a few months to live by his doctor, he puts out a hit on himself to make his last days more interesting. In an unfortunate twist of fate, it turns out that there was a lab error and he’s actually in perfect health. Now Flood has to battle an army of assassins to stay alive.
Jason Statham was previously in talks to star in the film, but the Guardians of the Galaxy star eventually got the role. Disturbia‘s DJ Caruso will direct the film while Steve Richards (no, not the wrestler) and Andrew Lazar will produce it.
