Just Cause Coming To Big Screen

[Project862006]

Variety

Eric Eisner's L+E Pictures has optioned the film rights to Avalanche Studios' videogame franchise "Just Cause," which it will develop with producer Adrian Askarieh, of Prime Universe Prods., before shopping it to the studios.
Michael Ross ("Turistas") will pen the script.
Property revolves around Rico Rodriguez, aka the Scorpion, a black ops agent who carries out deadly missions for the U.S. government that come in the form of creating chaos and destabilizing rogue nations from within and turning the bad guys against each other.
The character's calling card is his grappling hook and penchant for aerial stunts with his unique parachute, putting him in unusual action scenarios like hijacking fighter jets in midair.

Give it to Robert Rodriguez. That is all.

Just cause what? sorry had to say that.

The only names I can think of for the lead role would be Wilmer Valderamma, Diego Luna and Gael Garcia Bernal. Those are like the only names I can think of of Hispanic actors under 40.

First thing they will do is cast a white guy to play Rico Rodriguez.

Or they go older and cast Benecio Del Toro.

Will this adaption go into development hell along with the countless set of other video game films?

Someone like Brad Pitt with a fake dark spray tan and brown contact lenses?

According to his bio he was born in 1968, so if you go by the game's timeline he's 38 in the first one.

Nearly 9 years later....

They should get Al Pacino to dub Rico's lines.
Robin Atkin Downes channeled his inner Al Pacino for Just Cause 2.

A reply this late to a quick to die thread I doubt you remember posting in will probably confuse you, but that happens when a thread is resurrected this long later. LOL

The cause in the title is more like a purpose "I'm gonna liberate this country of tyranny" than abbreviation for 'Because'
