EXCLUSIVE<\/strong>: The big-screen adaptation of the bestselling video game Just Cause<\/em> has landed Michael Dowse as director. Dowse, whose work includes Stuber<\/em> and Coffee & Kareem,<\/em> has been set to helm the co-production between Constantin Film and Prime Universe.<\/p>\n

Scripted by Derek Kolstad<\/a> (the John Wick<\/em> trilogy), the film is produced by Constantin Film’s Robert Kulzer, Prime Universe Film’s Adrian Askarieh<\/a>, and Kolstad. Constantin’s Martin Moszkowicz and Square Enix will be the executive producers and Constantin’s Alex Westmore and Colin Scully are overseeing.<\/p>\n

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. The series draws its name from the real-life U.S. invasion of Panama, code-named “Operation Just Cause.” Rodriguez (aka “The Scorpion”) has become one of the few Latino iconic video game characters. He has a signature “agent of chaos” approach to taking down the bad guys. There will be a female co-lead giving Just Cause<\/em> a Romancing the Stone<\/em> vibe. The video game series has shipped over 35 million units worldwide.<\/p>\n

After starting out as an editor while directing short films and music videos, Dowse made his feature directing debut on Fubar<\/em>, which opened Midnight Madness at the Sundance Film Festival. It’s All Gone Pete Tong<\/em>, Dowse’s second feature, won the City Award at the 2004 Toronto Film Festival. He has followed with a Fubar<\/em> sequel, Take Me Home Tonight<\/em> and the sleeper comedy Goon<\/em>. Dowse’s TV credits include Fubar, Age of Computer<\/em> for Vice, Preacher<\/em> for AMC, Man Seeking Woman<\/em> for FX and Futureman<\/em> for Hulu.<\/p>\n

Constantin Films’ made the Resident Evil<\/em> franchise, Monster Hunter<\/em> and the TV series Shadowhunters — The Mortal Instruments.<\/em><\/p>\n

Dowse is repped by UTA, Fourth Wall Management and Paul Hastings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
