Dave Bautista will star in the action thriller Cooler for FilmNation Entertainment.
Drew Pearce, whose credits include Mission: Impossible: Rogue Nation and Iron Man 3, wrote the pic. Pearce’s directorial debut Hotel Artemis starred Bautista.
Says Deadline, the film follows a South Beach bouncer Ray Sagona, played by Bautista, who is on the brink of finding redemption and getting his family back. But when a drug-filled safe is stolen from the club he works at, Ray is blackmailed into finding it before the Miami PD narcotics bureau comes to retrieve it on Sunday night. Now, as his past and present collide in ever-more dangerous ways, Ray must survive an epic 36-hour odyssey across Miami Beach to get that safe back… one final Herculean task on his journey towards absolution.
Pearce will produce through his Point of No Return banner along with Bautista’s Dogbone Entertainment, Jonathan Meisner, Drake and Future the Prince via their DreamCrew label, and Drew Simon and Sam Speiser for Infrared.
