Amazon MGM Picks Up Jason Momoa Action‑Comedy 'Shots! Shots! Shots!'

The acquisition reflects Amazon MGM’s bet that Momoa’s recent streaming hit can anchor a family‑friendly action‑comedy franchise.

Overview

  • Amazon MGM Studios acquired the spec action‑comedy Shots! Shots! Shots! on Tuesday, June 16, 2026, after the project was put into turnaround by Universal.
  • Jason Momoa is reported to be in talks to star and to join the producing team on the project, though no deal or shooting date has been announced.
  • The script comes from Matt Mider and Kevin Burrows and will be produced by Jonathan Eirich’s Rideback with the writers and Rideback’s Ryan Halprin as executive producers.
  • Trade coverage describes the film as a family‑centric action adventure with tones similar to True Lies, Taken and The Lost City, but plot details remain under wraps.
  • Amazon MGM’s pickup was driven in part by Momoa’s recent streaming success with The Wrecking Crew, and the film’s schedule will depend on Momoa’s other commitments.
