Former WWE star Dave Baustisa has joined the cast of Hotel Artemis, the film which will be the directorial debut of Iron Man 3 writer Drew Pearce. The news of Bautista’s casting was announced at the Berlin Film Festival over the weekend.
Jodie Foster (Silence of the Lambs, The Accused) is already cast in the action-thriller, which goes before the cameras very soon.
Penned by Pearce and set in the near future, Hotel Artemis follows a nurse (Foster) who runs an underground hospital for Los Angeles’ most sinister criminals, and finds that one of her patients is actually there to assassinate another.
Director Pearce said: “Mr. Bautista is a force to be reckoned with — a powerful presence who’s equal parts strength and soulfulness. I’m a true fan, and it’s a privilege to have him in the world of Hotel Artemis.”
