Chris Pratt Is The Cowboy Ninja Viking

By
Read on to learn which role Chris Pratt will play in this upcoming film.
After a breakout, blockbuster genre franchise hit, some actors like to retreat to the safety and 'credibility' of a gritty low-budget indie drama or two. Not so for Chris Pratt. Still a star of Parks And Recreation, he managed to find time to follow Guardians Of The Galaxy with a little thing called Jurassic World, and has now chosen his next role in another nascent comic book franchise. He'll star as lead assassin Duncan in Universal's developing Cowboy Ninja Viking according to Collider

Created by writer A. J. Lieberman and artist Riley Rossmo, Cowboy Ninja Viking is an Image Comics series about secret counter-intelligence agents with multiple personality disorders. Various suitable candidates for the 'Triplet' programme were brought together by psychotherapist Dr. Sebastian Ghislain, but when the project collapsed, the subjects went their own ways as hired assassins.

Pratt's Duncan then, just to be clear, will not be an actual Cowboy Ninja Viking: those are the personality types that have been corralled in his mind for maximum effectiveness (although Collider believe that Pratt's appearance will change onscreen according to which skill-set Duncan is using). Other characters we encounter in the comic series include Duncan's brother Carl (Staff Sergeant - Apache - Highlander); Steed Malbranque* (Hitman - Navy SEAL - Dokken roadie); Lara St. Britt (Air Hostess - Joan Of Arc - Amazon); and Grear Fulkirk, whose Sniper - Chef - Martial Artist designation surely makes him Seagal in Under Siege.

The movie has been in the works for some time. The comics were first published in 2009 and as early as 2010 Disney had the Zombieland team of Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese working on an adaptation. That version went into turnaround in 2012, and Universal picked it up when Disney dropped it, choosing Marc Forster (Quantum Of Solace, World War Z) to direct.

Forster is no longer attached, meaning the director's chair is currently vacant. The IMDb lists Craig Mazin (The Hangover trilogy, Scary Movie 3 and 4) as a writer along with Wernick and Reese, but whether any of those drafts remain in play is unclear. Mark Gordon (Source Code, TV's Criminal Minds) is producing.

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

By Matt Cummings
The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim...
