With Parks and Recreation coming to a close, it's no wonder that Chris Pratt can be seen attached to big-name films lately. GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY cemented his status as a Hollywood player and word on the street is that JURASSIC WORLD will only solidify that. With GUARDIANS 2 soon to be a thing, what else might be in store? If rumor's to be believed, COWBOY NINJA VIKING. Is it as ridiculously awesome as it sounds? You betcha!
The story revolves around a counter-intelligence unit of Multiple Personality Disorder patients (that just sounds like they're asking for trouble). Headed up by psychotherapist Dr. Sebastian Ghislain, these patients are transformed into agents known as Triplets (a reference to the three different personalities inside their minds). The unit eventually falls apart (surprise) and most of its members are turned into hired killers. Duncan, a Triplet who channels the skills of a Cowboy, Ninja, and Viking, is sent to find and stop the rogues. While director Marc Forster (WORLD WAR Z, QUANTUM OF SOLACE) is no longer attached to direct, word is that each iteration of Duncan's personality will look completely different to the audience, despite Duncan looking the same to those he interacts with. If Pratt is truly in line to play this, I can't imagine a director who'd want to pass up such a cool concept.
Can we throw Will Arnett somwhere in there? The two have to team-up for a live-action flick.
