The film adaptation of Just Cause has been slowly moving through Hollywood’s development hell for almost 15 years. Now, the project is taking another step forward with Aaron Rabin, one of the writers behind Prime Video’s Jack Ryan series.
According to The Wrap, Rabin is set to work alongside Blue Beetle director Angel Manuel Soto, who joined the project last May. Rabin’s previous credits include Silent River and Nobody 2, which will feature Better Call Saul’s Bob Odenkirk reprising his role from the first film.
John Wick and Deadpool 2 director David Leitch is producing Just Cause alongside Kelly McCormick. Their previous producing credits together include Violent Night, Bullet Train, Nobody, and The Fall Guy. Universal Pictures is set to release Just Cause, but the studio hasn’t set a date for it yet.
