Comment on Stuber Director to Helm Just Cause Movie Adaptation

Michael Dowse will direct the feature film version of the Avalanche Studios-Square Enix video game franchise Just Cause. Dowse, whose directing credits include the action-comedies Stuber and Netflix's Coffee and Kareem, will direct from a screenplay by Derek Kolstad (the John Wick franchise). "The film will follow the video game’s blueprint, as Rico Rodriguez is on a race-against-time mission to stop the mercenary group The Black Hand," according to Deadline. "There will be a female co-lead giving Just Cause a Romancing The Stone Vibe [sic]."

No word yet on who will play the iconic Rico Rodriguez, although Jason Momoa was once up for the role.
