Aquaman star Jason Momoa is set to lead the cast of the Just Cause film. The planned project will be based on the very popular video game series with Momoa playing the role of C.I.A. operative Rico Rodriguez.
The Wrap reports that none other than San Andreas helmer Brad Peyton will direct the film from a script by John Collee (Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World).
Here’s the description of the source material:
Just Cause begins with Rico Rodriguez, an operative for an organization known as the Agency, being dropped into a Caribbean tropical island called San Esperito, after being called there by his commanding officer, Tom Sheldon, to help overthrow San Esperito’s dictator, Salvador Mendoza, whom the Agency believes to be in possession of weapons of mass destruction.
After his arrival, Rico meets up with Sheldon and fellow agent Maria Kane, and they ally themselves with a guerrilla group staging a rebellion against the regime and the Rioja drug cartel, another enemy of the government. Rico assists them in their civil war against Mendoza’s corrupt officials; Black Hand mercenaries and the Montano cartel.
