The Rock And Seven Bucks Productions Working On Ric Flair Biopic

A Ric Flair biopic is in the works.

Drew Taylor of TheWrap reports that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Seven Bucks Productions are developing a project based on the life of 16-time world champion Ric Flair. Flair is a two-time WWE Hall of Famer. Johnson, Dany Garcia, and Hiram Garcia will produce the project, as will Misher Films’ Kevin Misher.

“As a kid who grew up in professional wrestling, I idolized, ‘The Nature Boy’ Ric Flair,” Johnson said in a statement. “He was a hero to me. And once I broke into the wrestling business and began to spill my own sweat and blood – my reverence for Ric turned to respect. Because I realized just how rare and impossible it is to disrupt the wrestling business, culture and truly change the game – and that’s exactly what Ric Flair did. This project is personal, and we can’t wait to tell his unbelievable story. As always, thank you for the house, Ric.”

As previously announced, Johnson is producing and set to star in “Smashing Machine,” a biopic of MMA fighter Mark Kerr.

Ric Flair is currently signed to AEW. The Rock recently returned to WWE, and he has aligned with Roman Reigns.

WrestleZone will provide more information as it becomes available.
