Chris Pratt to star in sci-fi Ghost Draft for The LEGO Batman Movie director

February 15, 2019 by Gary Collinson

Deadline is reporting that Guardians of the Galaxy star Chris Pratt has signed on to star in the sci-fi film Ghost Draft, which is being directed by Chris McKay (The LEGO Batman Movie) for Skydance Media.

The film, which is being eyed as a potential franchise, has been in development for several years and follows “a husband and father who is drafted to fight a future war in which the fate of humanity may rely on his ability to correct issues of the past.”

Pratt’s latest movie, The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part, opened soft at the box office last weekend, although that won’t be the case with his next film as he reprises the role of Star-Lord for Marvel’s Avengers: Endgame.

His upcoming slate includes Disney-Pixar’s Onward, and the as-yet-untitled Jurassic World 3, while he also remains attached to Cowboy Ninja Viking, although – as with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 – that project has been delayed indefinitely.

Director McKay meanwhile continues to attach himself to projects on a seemingly bi-monthly basis; along with Ghost Draft, his other potential projects include a live-action Jonny Quest movie, a LEGO Batman Movie sequel and the DC solo film Nightwing for Warner Bros., as well as Dungeons & Dragons for Paramount Pictures.
