Universal Pictures has made a deal to craft a new version of Saigon Bodyguards. The studio will make a high octane action comedy based on the Vietnamese film of the same name. Chris Pratt, fresh from wrapping Jurassic World: Dominion for Universal, is attached to star in the film with Wu Jing, the star of the blockbuster Chinese franchise Wolf Warrior.

Jurassic World: Dominion began pre-production more than 18 months ago when the world was a very different place. The $165M Universal blockbuster wrapped this morning at the UK’s Pinewood Studios after an unprecedented shoot, which required 40,000 COVID tests, millions of dollars spent on protocols, and for cast and key crew to isolate in a bubble for months.

The Cylons are on the march. Simon Kinberg has signed on to write and produce a big-screen take of Battlestar Galactica, Universal’s long-gestating feature adaptation of its sci-fi franchise.

The Nicole Kidman horror classic is getting a makeover. Sources tell Deadline that Universal Pictures and Sentient Entertainment have partnered on the remake of Alejandro Amenabar’s The Others and are in development on a film.

LeBron James’ SpringHill Company has entered into a four-year, first-look film deal with Universal Pictures, Variety has learned exclusively.
