The Guardians Of The Galaxy Actor Dave Bautista will be featured in a Futuristic Action-Adventure film, “Afterburn” alongside Oscar nominee Samuel L. Jackson.
The movie is an adaptation of the graphic novel created by Scott Chitwood and Paul Ens, the joint founders of Red 5 with artwork by Wayne Nicholas. Furthermore, the movie is helmed by Director J.J. Perry and produced by Neal H. Moritz from the Fast and Furious franchise in addition to Toby Jaffe from Total Recall for Original Film, while Steve Richards from the Sherlock Holmes franchise and The Matrix trilogy is producing for Endurance Media, who is also providing the financing.
According to Deadline, the movie’s plot takes place ten years following a global technological outage caused by a solar flare. Bautista’s character, Jake, is an ex-soldier who now works as a treasure hunter, recovering valuable artifacts from the pre-flare world for important clients. In this story, he is tasked with teaming up with freedom fighter Drea (Samuel L. Jackson) to retrieve the Mona Lisa before a dangerous warlord reaches it first.
Filming for the movie is set to commence in Europe in April, and the casting process for additional roles is currently ongoing. Bautista will also be involved in the production through his company, Dogbone Entertainment.
