Bautista will play a former guest who is still on the island against his will and who is determined to expose its secrets.
The Fantasy Island TV series dealt with dark themes and the supernatural with a little bit of cheesiness as visitors would come to the island to live out their fantasies.
Jeff Wadlow (Truth or Dare) will direct the big screen adaptation from a script he is writing with Chris Roach and Jillian Jacobs.
Dave Bautista (Guardians of the Galaxy) may be itching to join James Gunn’s Suicide Squad 2, but for now he will get to live out his fantasies with the rest of the growing cast of Sony and Blumhouse’s Fantasy Island, the big screen adaptation of the campy ABC series that ran from 1977-1984.
