Chris Pratt wants all your box office dollars! That's sure appears to be the Parks and Recreation breakout star's mission as he signs up for one studio tentpole after the next. Pratt will surely be back for Guardians of the Galaxy 2 and is in line for another smash hit in Jurassic World. Then there's rumors that Pratt is wanted by Disney Pictures as a replacement for Harrison Ford in an Indiana Jones reboot. But before he cracks a whip, Pratt might be swinging an ax, or...katana....or...lasso in Universal Pictures' Cowboy Ninja Viking. Based on writer A.J. Lieberman and artist Riley Rossmo’s graphic novel, Cowboy Ninja Viking is a story centered around a man suffering from multiple personality disorder who is placed in a government program to turn him into a one-man army capable of harnessing the skills of a (you guessed it) cowboy, ninja and a viking. Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese (Zombieland, Deadpool) penned the script. The latest news from Variety is that Universal Pictures would like David Leitch and Chad Stahelski, the directing team behind the recently well-received John Wick to helm the project. Pratt has met with the directors and has given Universal the thumbs up but it's up to Leitch and Stahelski to decide if they want the gig. Check out a trailer for John Wick below and if you missed the film in theaters, rectify your mistake and purchase a copy of the blu-ray/dvd.
