Paramount obtains rights to JOHN WICK’s Flick STRAY action Writer Derek Kolstad

Paramount won the rights to the action film Stray from John Wick scribe Derek Kolstad. A director has not yet been assigned to the project, but the film will be the protagonist Masters of the Universe actor Kyle Allen. Variety reports that although plot details have not been announced, it will be in the wake of rock-’em-sock-’em revenge thrillers such as John Wick and that of Bob Odenkirk Nobody.

Akiva Goldsman and Greg Lessans will produce through Weed Road Pictures and Kolstad will produce through his company Tradecraft.

Kolstad said of the project:

“Kyle has a contagious energy about him and is an absolute joy to riff with everything about the genre. Pair it with Akiva and Greg behind us and this is going to be a real journey. I honestly can’t wait to get in touch with this team. “

Lessan added:

“Kyle has a staggering array of skills – as an actor, dancer, martial artist and acrobat – and who better than Derek Kolstad to put them all to the test? It was a joy to be born with them and we are just getting started. It’s even more fun to bring it to life with our friends at Paramount. “

Kolstad proved epically popular John Wick franchise, so it will be fun to see what he does next. Kolstad is also working on an adaptation of Split cell for Netflix, as well as a sequel to Nobody. What project are you most waiting for?
