Wrestling fans, get ready for an exciting new project featuring one of the industry’s biggest stars! WWE Superstar John Cena is set to star in a new action comedy movie called Freelance. The film is scheduled to hit theaters on Friday, October 6, and boasts an impressive cast that includes Alison Brie, Juan Pablo Raba, and Christian Slater.
The movie’s synopsis sets the stage for an adrenaline-fueled adventure:
“Ex-special forces operative Mason Pettis (John Cena) is stuck in a dead-end desk job when he reluctantly takes on a freelance gig to provide private security for washed-up journalist Claire Wellington (Alison Brie) as she interviews the ruthless—but impeccably dressed—dictator, Juan Venegas (Juan Pablo Raba). When a military coup breaks out just as she’s about to get the scoop of a lifetime, the unlikely trio must figure out how to survive the jungle AND each other in order to make it out alive! From Pierre Morel the dynamic director of TAKEN and PEPPERMINT, FREELANCE is written by Jacob Lentz and is a Relativity Media Production.”
With a budget of at least $40 million, Freelance promises to deliver high-octane action and hilarious comedic moments. The movie was originally announced in October 2021 and began filming in Colombia on January 17, 2022. It marks the feature writing debut of TV screenwriter Jacob Lentz, with Pierre Morel of Taken fame directing. The producers of the film are Steve Richards, Christopher Tuffin, and Renee Tab, while Relativity Media handles distribution. AGC Studios and Endurance Media are the production companies behind this exciting project.
