Alan Ritchson and Chris Morgan Partner for Unforgettable MotoGP Heist Thriller at Netflix

Following the resounding success of this year’s War Machine, Netflix and Alan Ritchson have solidified their long-term plans under a new first-look feature deal. The talented actor, known for his captivating performances in various Netflix projects, has formed a creative partnership through his production banner, Dancing Skeleton.

According to sources, Ritchson and Netflix have set an untitled heist thriller as their first project under the pact. The film revolves around a crew of motorcycle thieves who begin stealing priceless antiquities worldwide. Interpol recruits a former MotoGP prodigy (Ritchson) to catch them, only to discover that the ringleader may be his younger brother, long believed dead.

Ritchson will star and produce the film, with Chris Morgan writing the script. Morgan, a renowned screenwriter, has an impressive track record, having written seven films in the Fast franchise, including the relaunch of the series. His expertise in crafting high-octane action films will undoubtedly bring this project to life.

The new project will have MotoGP’s full support, with the motorcycle road-racing championship signing a deal to help consult on the film, aiding in its development. This partnership will undoubtedly enhance the authenticity and excitement of the film, making it a must-watch for fans of the franchise.

The untitled heist thriller marks Ritchson’s growing Netflix film slate, which includes a slate of feature films for the streaming giant. Recently, he was tapped to headline Maelstrom, a new action package at Netflix, alongside director Jaume Collet-Serra. The project brings together talent from two of Netflix’s biggest action hits, making it an exciting addition to Ritchson’s filmography.

Ritchson’s production banner, Dancing Skeleton, produces original film and television projects across all platforms, focusing on high-impact, audience-driven storytelling from distinctive creative voices. With this new partnership, Netflix and Ritchson are set to deliver a series of unforgettable films that will captivate audiences worldwide.

The film’s production team includes Chris Morgan and Ainsley Morgan for Chris Morgan Productions, as well as Joe Roth and Jeff Kirschenbaum for RK Films. With this talented team on board, the project is sure to be a thrilling ride that will leave viewers on the edge of their seats.

The success of War Machine, which claimed the No. 10 spot on Netflix’s Most Popular Movies list with 139.9 million views in its first 91 days, has paved the way for this exciting new partnership. As Ritchson’s film slate continues to grow, fans can expect even more high-quality content from this talented actor and his production banner.
