Amazon MGM Acquires Jason Momoa Action-Comedy 'Shots! Shots! Shots!'

Amazon MGM Studios has officially acquired the action-comedy project *Shots! Shots! Shots!*, starring Jason Momoa, following the film's departure from Universal Pictures. The project, which was originally developed as a spec script by writers Matt Mider and Kevin Burrows, entered turnaround after Universal adjusted its budgetary priorities. Amazon MGM’s decision to pick up the title signals a continued investment in Momoa’s bankability, particularly following the streaming success of his previous collaboration with the studio, *The Wrecking Crew*.

While specific plot details remain under wraps, the film is being positioned as a family-centric adventure that blends the high-stakes action of the *Taken* franchise with the comedic tone of *The Lost City* and the classic spy-thriller energy of *True Lies*. The production will be led by Jonathan Eirich of Rideback, with Momoa and Jeff Fierson also serving as producers. Mider and Burrows are attached as executive producers alongside Ryan Halprin.

This acquisition highlights Amazon MGM’s strategic focus on securing proven talent for its streaming and theatrical slates. By absorbing a project that was already well-vetted by a major studio, Amazon is mitigating development risk while capitalizing on Momoa’s established rapport with their audience. Despite the acquisition, the film is not currently slated as Momoa’s immediate next project, as the actor maintains a packed schedule with upcoming roles in DC Studios’ *Supergirl*, Legendary’s *Street Fighter*, and the third installment of the *Dune* franchise.

For the industry, this move underscores the fluidity of the current development landscape, where projects deemed a poor fit for one studio’s fiscal strategy can quickly find a new home with competitors looking to bolster their content libraries. As streaming platforms continue to compete for high-profile, star-driven vehicles, Momoa remains a central figure in the industry’s push for reliable, genre-bending entertainment.
