Described as an “attitude-laced hard-edged actioner” by Deadline, Cowboy Ninja Viking is bound to also contain some quirky humor, given Pratt’s involvement.
The Chris Pratt passion project Cowboy Ninja Viking has hired one of Thor: Ragnarok’s scribes to rewrite the comic book adaptation’s script.
And while he promised to deliver on the project in the interim, the Cowboy Ninja Viking film took a big step forward last month when it hired Game of Thrones helmer Michelle MacLaren to direct.
Based on the 2009 comic book of the same name, the idea for the Cowboy Ninja Viking film has been floating around Hollywood since 2010, and finally established some solid footing in 2014 when Pratt, just prior to the blockbuster success of Guardians of the Galaxy, signed on to play the lead.
