The Universe’s Most Wanted movie starring Dave Bautista is dead.
A science fiction fantasy adventure movie spent the last few years in development. “The movie centers on a small town that gets a big surprise when a spaceship carrying the universe’s most wanted and dangerous criminals crash lands in their backyard,” reads a 2021 synopsis from Variety. “Soon the sheriff and his son become heroes when they find themselves helping an intergalactic peacekeeper (Bautista) to keep the ragtag group of alien prisoners from escaping and taking over the world.”
Will the Universe’s Most Wanted movie happen?
Producer Stuart Ford was recently asked about the project. “It has stalled due to casting and creative issues. That’s all I’ll say,” he told Deadline. When asked if Bautista was still attached to the project, he responded, “No one is in right now. It’s dead.”
Bautista’s next movie is Dune: Part Two, releasing on March 15, 2024.
