MGM is in final talks to secure the rights to Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista’s upcoming buddy cop film.

The new project has been long in the works between the two stars and had generated a lot of interest from major studios. Jonathan Tropper penned the script for the as-yet-untitled film, with Jeff Fierson producing.

Deadline reports that the new picture takes inspiration from Lethal Weapon and hopes to begin production in Hawaii in 2023. No director has yet been chosen for the project.
