The Rock And Seven Bucks Productions Working On Ric Flair Biopic
A Ric Flair biopic is reportedly in the works.
According to The Wrap, Seven Bucks Productions is developing a biopic based on the life of Ric Flair.
The Rock (Dwayne Johnson), Dany Garcia and Hiram Garcia are producing alongside Misher Films’ Kevin Misher. Misher and Seven Bucks Productions worked together to produce “Fighting With My Family,” which was based on the life of Saraya (Paige in WWE).
“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.”
Flair is one of the most decorated and celebrated wrestlers in history, touted as a 16-time World Champion. He is currently signed to AEW and has been on television alongside Sting, who is set to have his last match at AEW Revolution.
Flair said in October that a movie about his life would be coming.
