As an avid WWE fan, one of the last wrestlers I thought would go on to have a thriving acting career was Dave Bautista, but holy hell, has this guy proved everyone wrong. Now the big man is getting set to co-star in a new film with Oscar winner Jodie Foster entitled Hotel Artemis.
According to Deadline Drew Pearce is directing the film, which Lionsgate recently boarded for international sales. The Ink Factory is financing and producing the action thriller with WME Global handling U.S. rights.
The future-set project sees Foster as a nurse who runs an underground hospital for Los Angeles’ most sinister criminals and finds that one of her patients is actually there to assassinate another.
La La Land‘s Marc Platt is producing with Adam Siegel and The Ink Factory’s Simon Cornwell and Stephen Cornwell.
Pearce says, “Mr. Bautista is a force to be reckoned with — a powerful presence who’s equal parts strength and soulfulness. I’m a true fan, and it’s a privilege to have him in the world of Hotel Artemis.”
