Jason Momoa appeared Monday on The Late Late Show With James Corden and revealed future plans that will make a lot of people very happy. Last Thursday, fans went crazy when Momoa’s See and Dune co-star Dave Bautista tweeted that he and Momoa should star in a Lethal Weapon-type movie together. According to Momoa, that’s exactly what’s going to happen.
“I’m not on Twitter, but he literally texted me about four days ago, going, ‘We need to do a buddy cop film,’” Momoa said. “We love each other, you know, obviously we met on See, we’re on Dune together, so I said, ‘Absolutely.’ And he’s like, ‘Let’s do it in Hawaii.’ I’m like, ‘Let’s do it.’ I’m like, ‘I got an idea.’ So it’s off to the races now. We’re doing it.”
Though it’s only been a few days since they decided to make the film, it sounds like Momoa’s already got the bare bones figured out.
“It sells itself. Dave loves wearing speedos. I love wearing board shorts. Ya know, both of us with our shirts off. You know, buddy cop film,” Momoa said. “He’ll be grumpy, I’ll be charming. Boom. It sells itself, bro. Bam!”
While Momoa’s got that part figured out, he doesn’t seem too concerned with the title of the film.
“We got the whole thing locked down now. This is huge,” Corden said. “What are we gonna call it?” “I’ll leave that to other people,” Momoa replied. “Let’s put it out to the room,” Corden said. “If anyone can come up with a good title, I actually think we’ve got a good chance of this being passed through, because I don’t think either of them are in this for the art.”
