www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=57191CHRIS PRATT REPORTEDLY SET TO STAR IN "COWBOY NINJA VIKING" FILM "Guardians of the Galaxy's" Chris Pratt already may have another comic book adaptation on his playlist. According to Collider, the actor is attached to star in Universal Pictures' "Cowboy Ninja Viking," based on the Image Comics series by AJ Lieberman and Riley Rossmo. Debuting in October 2009, the comic centers on the title character, the child of a psychotherapist who recruits patients with multiple personality disorder to create a unit of counter-intelligence agents called the Triplets. When those agents become out-of-control assassins, the deadliest Triplet of them all, Cowboy Ninja Viking, is called in to take them down. The film rights were originally acquired in 2010 by Disney, but the script by "Zombieland" screenwriters Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese reportedly was deemed too edgy, and the project passed in 2012 to Universal. Mark Foster ("Quantum of Solace," "World War Z") was set to direct at that time, but Collider contends he's no longer attached. Mark Gordon ("Saving Private Ryan") and Management 360 ("Game of Thrones") remain as producers. A hot property following "Guardians of the Galaxy's" $770 million global box-office haul, Pratt is heading into the final season of NBC's "Parks and Recreation." He'll next be seen on the big screen in "Jurassic World," due June 13 from Universal.

www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=58882&utm_campaign=universals-cowboy-ninja-viking-pursues-john-wick-directors-confi&utm_medium=email&utm_source=breaking_bulletinUNIVERSAL'S "COWBOY NINJA VIKING" PURSUES "JOHN WICK" DIRECTORS, CONFIRMS CHRIS PRATT'S INVOLVEMENT Hollywood darling Chris Pratt ("Jurassic World," "Lego Movie") will star in Universal's adaption of "Cowboy Ninja Viking" while the studio eyes David Leitch and Chad Stahelski to co-direct. While Chris Pratt had been rumored to be attached to the project, Variety has confirmed his involvement. Pratt, who has tweeted his excitement about the project and wanted to make sure the film found the right directors, has reportedly met with Leitch and Stahelski and an offer has gone out to the directors. Released in October 2009, "Cowboy Ninja Viking" was originally a graphic novel by A.J. Lieberman and artist Riley Rossmo, published under the same name. This would add yet another comic book adaptation to Pratt's list of upcoming films. The graphic novel follows the child of a psychotherapist who recruits patients with multiple personality disorder to create a unit of counter-intelligence agents called the Triplets. When those agents become out-of-control assassins, the deadliest Triplet of them all, Cowboy Ninja Viking, is called in to take them down. Since Pratt is in such high demand, the production of the film has been fast-tracked. The actor is also attached to the "Magnificent Seven" and "Guardians of the Galaxy 2." Additionally, he was rumored for the new "Indiana Jones" film as recently as Tuesday. Stahelski and Leitch rose to popularity following the success of their film, "John Wick," which overperformed at the box office last October. Leitch went uncredited for his part in that film. Mark Gordon, Guymon Casady and Ben Forkner will co-producing.

Universal's adaptation of Cowboy Ninja Viking, starring Chris Pratt, will hit theaters on June 28, 2019, the beginning of the lucrative July Fourth holiday corridor. That's welcome news for fans of the Image Comics graphic novel. The film, which has been in the works since 2014, is finally a go, with Michael De Luca coming aboard as one of the producers alongside Guymon Casady, Mark Gordon and Pratt. Pratt (Guardians of the Galaxy, Jurassic World) stars as a new kind of assassin who manifests the toughest skills of three different personas. The graphic novel is from AJ Lieberman and illustrator Riley Rossmo. Cowboy Ninja Viking further strengthens the relationship between Pratt and Universal, home of the Jurassic World franchise. The project is out to directors. Pratt, who first became interested in Cowboy Ninja in 2014, is one of Hollywood's most in-demand actors and has a full dance card. He was in theaters this summer in Disney and Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. He'll make an appearance in The Avengers: Infinity War, which is set to bow May 4, 2018, while Jurassic World: Hidden Kingdom is slated to open June 22, 2018. So far, the only other film scheduled to open on June 28, 2019, is Paramount's untitled Transformers 7.
