We’ve seen Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce in multiple television roles and more are coming this fall. A jump to the big screen could be next. Variety reported that Kelce is in talks to appear in an action/comedy movie called “Loose Cannons.” It’s to be produced by Chad Stahelski, who directed all four “John Wick” films.
IMDB.com has this description of “Loose Cannons:” “Two unhinged police officers are forced to partner up after their precincts merge, and they take on cases no one else can handle.” The movie’s writer is Timothy Dowling, whose IMDB writing credits include a pair of Adam Sandler movie, “Just Go With It” and “Pixels.”
Dowling also wrote “Role Models” with Paul Rudd, and “Office Christmas Party,” which starred Jason Bateman and Olivia Munn.
A 1990 movie called “Loose Cannons” starring Dan Aykroyd and Gene Hackman was of the action/comedy genre featuring police officers, but Variety said Kelce’s film would not be a remake. Kelce, who was in the 2020 comedy “Moonbase 8,” will be seen in a pair of television shows this fall. He is hosting “Are You Smarter Than A Celebrity,” which debuts Oct. 16 and will co-star in “Grotesquerie,” a horror/drama on FX.
That show starts on Sept. 25. Before that, Kelce will begin a reality-show quest of sorts as he and the Chiefs will attempt to become the first team in NFL history to win a third straight Super Bowl championship.
The Chiefs open the season with the NFL Kickoff Game against the Baltimore Ravens on Sept. 5 at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.
