According to ultra popular entertainment and pop culture website, Deadline, the beautiful and talented Betty Gilpin, Dave Bautista (former WWE superstar Batista), and Kumail Nanjiani will star in the Fox action comedy, Stuber.

Stuber follows a mild-mannered Uber driver (Nanjiani) who picks up a grizzled cop (Bautista) hot on the trail of a brutal killer and is thrust into a harrowing ordeal where he has to keep his wits, his life, and his five-star rating.

We're not sure that this is the type of free publicity Uber wants, but at this stage of the game Uber might do well to take any decent publicity they can muster, following a string of scandals that hit the company in the past two years, including spying on customers, a massive data breach and harassment of staff and customers, to name but a few!

Bautista has enjoyed strong success since getting into the movie industry but has expressed on more than one occasion that he's interested in returning to the WWE to finish off his professional wrestling career "the right way", before he gets much older.

To the best of our knowledge Batista has never appeared in the WWE Studios release and he is seldom featured on WWE programming or on the WWE.com website

The action and comedy movie star credit's Dwyane 'The Rock' Johnson for giving him some excellent advice and guidance in the movie making business early in his career.

He is represented by Gersh, Meisner Entertainment Group, and Mitchell, Silberberg & Knupp.
