May Dave Bautista be the brand new Tom Hanks? It is trying extra seemingly that he might find yourself channeling Jim Belushi as an alternative as he is trying to star in a brand new comedy referred to as Unleashed that sees a cop partnered with a canine that appears like a model of both Okay-9 or Turner & Hooch.

Unleashed is a brand new script from Blockers writers Jim & Brian Kehoe, which has Tag director Jeff Tomsic additionally contemplating signing on.

The idea for this one would see Bautista as a cop who’s finest pals with a canine companion that may sniff out any crime. When Boomer dies on the job, the cop pledges no extra pooch companions, till he’s teamed with Zeus.

Whereas we’re undecided we have to see a comedy the place a heroic canine dies (we’re nonetheless not over the tip of a kind of 1989 motion pictures listed above – not saying which for spoiler causes), the larger purple flag is the final time Bautista performed a police officer with a humorous companion, we obtained Stuber, which did not precisely please critics or audiences.

Nonetheless, Bautista can be superb, since he is nonetheless obtained Glass Onion: A Knives Out Thriller headed our approach plus Knock At The Cabin and the much-anticipated Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3. Oh, and he is at the moment busy again in beast (Rabban) mode capturing Dune: Half Two.
