Jason Momoa and David Leitch are coming on to produce "The Pirate", from writer Will Dunn, whose hot spec script was just acquired by Amazon MGM Studios.
Leitch and Kelly McCormick are in negotiations to produce under their 87North banner, while Momoa is in negotiations to produce under his On the Roam banner.
The project, if deals close, would be developed as a potential starring vehicle for Momoa. Leitch is developing to direct.
Plot details are under wraps other then it being described as The Raid set on a pirate ship.
Momoa recently starred in WB’s hit "Minecraft" movie, and he can currently be seen in the Apple TV+ series "Chief of War".
He is also set to reprise his role as Duncan Idaho (sort of) in WB/Legendary’s "Dune: Part Three" and will soon begin filming Legendary’s "Street Fighter" movie.
