Chris Pratt-Led ‘Cowboy Ninja Viking’ Gets A 2019 Release Date
Cowboy Ninja Vikingdoesn’t have a director that we know of, but comic book adaptation has a release date. In June of 2019,Chris Prattwill be part-Cowboy, part-Ninja, and part-Viking, playing a powerful assassin with the skills of all three warriors. He’s not the only “triplet” in the world, though, or at least that’s the case inA.J. LiebermanandRiley Rossmo’s graphic novel.
Below, find out theCowboy Ninja Vikingrelease date.
The Universal project will open in theatersJune 28, 2019. That’s a day afterTransformers 7is scheduled to come out, but afterTransformers: The Last Knight’s underwhelming performance at the domestic box-office, that sequel may be less of a concern forCowboy Ninja Viking. This movie has the kind of title I’m looking forward to seeing plastered on a big billboard or marquee, drawing both confusion and/or excitement from people passing by.Cowboy Ninja Vikingmay face more competition before and after its weekend though – it’s surrounded byToy Story 4(6/21/19) and aSpider-Mansequel (07/05/19).
The story follows Duncan, a man with a multiple personality disorder turned into a “triplet,” thanks to a secret government program. Here’s more information on the comic:
Duncan is the result of a secret government program to create soldiers for the war on terror. This experimental regimen conscripts people suffering from multiple personality disorder and turns them into “triplets,” highly lethal operatives possessing three distinct personalities drawing from warrior/tough guy archetypes. Duncan serves as the reader’s entry point into a complex web of espionage and violence that grows more intriguing as we are let in on exactly what’s up with Duncan, the people who want to drag him back into the fold, and the rest of the triplets that remain at large.
Prattsigned upto star in the project almost three years ago. He’s met with directors aboutCowboy Ninja Viking,including the makersofJohn Wick,David LeitchandChad Stahelski. Before that,Marc Foster(Quantum of Solace) was going to direct. With a release date less than two years away, we should expect to hear an announcement for who’s getting behind the camera forCowboy Ninja Vikingsoon.
BeforeCowboy Ninja Vikingwent to Universal, it was at Disney. The kid-friendly studio apparently foundRhett ReeseandPaul Wernick’s (Deadpool) script too edgy for their taste. Their fun and playful sensibilities seem perfect for a movie calledCowboy Ninja Viking, so let’s hope their script is the one Universal and Pratt are moving forward with.
