Jason Momoa (Games of Thrones, Conan the Barbarian) will reportedly be playing a deadly criminal opposite Sylvester Stallone in director Walter Hill\u2019s new crime drama \u2013 formerly known as \u2018Headshot\u2019.<\/p>\n

Former Stargate: Atlantis cast member Jason Momoa has become a hot commodity in the wake of his role as Khal Drogo on HBO\u2019s Game of Thrones. He looks to further strengthen his image as an onscreen badass by headlining this summer\u2019s Conan the Barbarian reboot and portraying a cop killer in action movie director Walter Hill\u2019s new film, formerly known as Headshot. Momoa will appear opposite Sylvester Stallone and Fast Five\u2018s Sung Kang as a mismatched pair of professionals (Stallone is a New Orleans hitman, Kang is a New York police officer), who join forces in order to track down the crooks responsible for murdering their respective partners. Latino Review says that Momoa is up to play the villainous Keegan in Hill\u2019s movie, which is an adaptation of the comic book \u201cBullet to the Head\u201d by French author Alexis Nolent (who writes under the pseudonym Matz). Oscar-nominee Alessandro Camon (The Messenger) was responsible for scripting the big-screen version of Nolent\u2019s violent crime noir series, which is expected to begin production in Louisiana before the month is out. Thomas Jane (The Punisher) was at one point set to team up with Stallone in Hill\u2019s movie, but he was eventually dropped from the cast \u2013 reportedly due to Dark Castle production company head Joel Silver wanting the film to feature a multi-racial buddy cop duo, like in Hill\u2019s 48 Hours or Silver\u2019s Lethal Weapon series. Although Jane previously claimed that the (currently, officially untitled) film\u2019s script is \u201ctailor made\u201d for Stallone, Hill, and himself, it seems that version of the movie is destined to remain a theoretical one. Take that as you will. While feelings about Jane\u2019s incarnation of Frank \u201cThe Punisher\u201d Castle tend to vary, most fans seem to agree that he is capable of pulling off the \u201cmacho man\u201d act convincingly enough. Kang, on the other hand, leaves less of an impression whenever he is onscreen in the Fast and the Furious movies \u2013 not to mention, he doesn\u2019t really stack up well against the likes of 48 Hours\u2018 Eddie Murphy or Lethal Weapon\u2018s Danny Glover. So while they could surprise in the final product, the pairing of Stallone and Kang reads as a weaker teamup on paper than Stallone and Jane. Nonetheless, with Momoa and Stallone prepped to square off against one another, Hill\u2019s new crime drama is still shaping up to be a fast-paced, shoot-em-up thriller that pays homage to buddy-cop movies of the 1980s \u2013 similar to how Stallone\u2019s The Expendables was a throwback to testosterone-fueled action fests from that decade. Fans just have to wait and see if this particular retro-piece can be as entertaining as its predecessors. We\u2019ll let you know when Hill\u2019s crime thriller has secured an official title and release date. Source: Latino Review<\/a><\/p>\n
