This is me catching up on some trailerage of late with Michael Dowse’s latest action comedy, Stuber. The latest red-band trailer is making the rounds and I’m actually already sold on this one.
Director Michael Dowse’s latest offering, Stuber, was already the subject of some mixed-to-positive reception after screening at SXSW last month. The rip-roaring action comedy, led by actor Kumail Nanjiani and the bustling feats of actor/wrestler Dave Bautista, has since been dated for a July 12 from Fox and now we have a look at the first official trailer above which looks all sorts of fun from what we can gather.
Collider and EW were kind enough on Thursday to drop some gems for upcoming action comedy, Stuber. Michael Dowse (Goon, What If) directs this latest feat which spotlights Kumail Nanjiani and MCU star Dave Bautista ahead of its preliminary screening at SXSW next week.
Indonesian action star, actor Iko Uwais is continually rising to the occasion these last several years. His latest stake in Beyond Skyline put him on par for further profusion in film and it now has him on deck to join actor Dave Bautista and title star, actor and comedian Kumail Nanjiani for upcoming action comedy, Stuber, for 20th Century Fox.
Details on Uwais’s role remains pending per Patrick Hipes’s exclusive at Deadline which confirms it as so. Michael Dowse is directing the film from a spec script by Tripper Clancy which centers on Bautista as a tenacious detective who commandeers an unsuspecting Uber and its driver, played by Nanjiani, over one night of high jinks and mayhem.
Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley are producing the film with Jake Wagner serving ad executive producer and Jeremy Kramer is overseeing for Fox.
The film adds to Uwais’s career which has been bustling ever since he catapulted into international cult fame since his starring debut in Gareth Huw Evans’s Merantau, followed by epic crime thriller, The Raid and its splashing 2014 sequel. The Headshot star would soon find himself among the likes of Disney and Lucas film with Star Wars: The Force Awakens prior to the festival hit that Liam O’Donnell’s Beyond Skyline became.
2018 will also be a milestone for the star with the upcoming July 20 release of STXfilms’s thriller Mile 22, followed by to-be-dated releases of Timo Tjahjanto’s The Night Comes For Us, Jesse Johnson’s Triple Threat reuniting Uwais with Man Of Tai Chi star Tiger Chen in addition to starring Tony Jaa, and the Mario Kassar-produced Foxtrot Six from director Randy Korompis.
Headlines late last year were bolstering actor Dave Bautista for great prospects. December gave rise to then-breaking news of action comedy, Stuber, currently housed at 20th Century Fox with Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley producing for Goon helmer Michael Dowse to direct.
This week, the Uber-themed spectacle is signaling its relevance once more with the addition of The Big Sick star, actor Kumali Nanjiani for the title role of Uber driver, Stu, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Tripper Clancy wrote the script which sees Bautista as a hard boiled cop hot on the trail of a brutal killer and desperate to catch him by comandeering an Uber and its reluctant five star-rated driver.
Jake Wagner and Nick Thomas are executive producing with Jeremy Kramer overseeing for Fox. Daley and Goldstein are also joined in with efforts at Warner Bros. Pictures to helm DC Comics adaptation, Flashpoint, for a 2020 release.
Bautista’s next appearance will be in Anthony and Joe Russo’s Avengers: Infinity War, next month.
Actor Dave Bautista’s career progression steers ever further this week, and gladly with a new report on Friday from Deadline per 20th Century Fox’s upcoming action comedy, Stuber. Michael Dowse is directing from a script by Tripper Clancy in which Bautista will play a relentless detective who commandeers an unsuspecting Uber driver named Stu into a harrowing evening of hijinks and mayhem.
Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley who helped cook up development on the project will produce the film with Jake Wagner serving as executive producer and Jeremy Kramer overseeing for Fox. The film comes just as Bautista is about to ring in the new year with a flurry of titles, including Drew Pearce’s sci-fi actioner, Hotel Artemis, the Russos’ Avengers: Infinity War, Steven C. Miller’s Escape Plan: Hades, Scott Mann’s Final Score, Yuen Woo-Ping’s Master Z: Ip Man Legacy, and a tentatively untitled action comedy vehicle from STX initially reported back in October.
