Gary Fleder, who directed five episodes of the MMA series, is set to helm the film, while Kingdom creator and writer Byron Balasco wrote the script. Filming is slated to kick off this coming June.
“I’ve been developing this project for a while and I’m excited to see it come to fruition. Re-teaming with Byron Balasco and director Gary Fleder also makes this project more special to me,” Nick shared in a statement.
“Working on Kingdom with Byron Balasco and Nick Jonas was one of the highlights of my career,” Gary adds. “So I’m thrilled to jump back in with them on Bodyman —a smart, lean, high-voltage action thriller that gives Nick the chance to show every side of what he can do: the physicality, the intensity, and the emotional depth.”
Bodyman is set to follow “a violent struggle for power and, ultimately survival, that ensues during a family Christmas when an eccentric billionaire unexpectedly signs over his nepo-baby children’s expected inheritance of his private military company to his longtime bodyguard (Jonas). Who will make it out of their remote family estate alive?”
The news comes off the heels of Nick‘s recently released new solo album Sunday’s Best.
On screen, he will next be seen in the upcoming Camp Rock 3, and Power Ballad with Paul Rudd, both of which will release this summer, plus the upcoming Jumanji 4, which has been in production for the past few months and is set to release later this year.
