Dave Bautista & His Dogbone Entertainment Sign With WME

EXCLUSIVE: Dave Bautista and his production company Dogbone Entertainment have signed with WME.

Currently, Bautista is shooting The Wrecking Crew, a buddy cop action comedy for Amazon MGM Studios, in which he stars opposite Jason Momoa. Written by Jonathan Tropper and directed by Ángel Manuel Soto, the film is about an unlikely duo of half-brothers — one, an impulsive detective, and the other, a disciplined Navy SEAL— who are drawn together by their father’s murder in Hawaii, leading them on a perilous journey to expose a far-reaching conspiracy.

Upcoming on the distribution front is Paul W.S. Anderson’s In the Lost Lands, a fantasy pic in which he stars opposite Milla Jovovich, which Vertical releases on February 28.

Bautista is also currently set to star opposite Anne Hathaway in an untitled action comedy that Tropper is scripting for Amazon MGM Studios and AGBO, on which we were first to report. Additionally, he’s attached to the Zellner Brothers’ anticipated alien invasion comedy Alpha Gang, produced by and starring Cate Blanchett.

Bautista’s Dogbone is a full-service entertainment company, active across film and television, that’s focused on producing action-packed stories with heart, smart comedies, and compelling dramas that promote meaningful conversation. Credits for the company to date include My Spy: The Eternal City for Amazon, The Killer’s Game for Lionsgate, and In the Lost Lands.

Formerly a professional wrestler for the WWE, Bautista broke out as an actor with his transformative, comedic turn as Drax in Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy franchise. Since the release of the first film in 2014, he’s gone on to an accomplished acting career, with roles in Spectre, Blade Runner 2049, Stuber, a pair of Dune and Avengers films, Army of the Dead, Apple TV+’s See, My Spy and its sequel, Thor: Love and Thunder, Glass Onion, M. Night Shyamalan’s Knock at the Cabin, and more.

Currently, Bautista can be seen starring opposite Pamela Anderson in The Last Showgirl, Gia Coppola’s Vegas drama released last week by Roadside Attractions. He continues to be represented by Kovert Creative and attorney Karl Austen of Jackoway Austen Tyerman.
