A24 scheduled a Mark Kermixt Martial Arts biopic of Benny Safdy Smashing Machine Starring Dwayne Johnson for the October 3rd release.
The film follows Kerr at the peak of his power during the UFC’s unprotected age.
The A24 produced and funded the film last year when Johnson jumped in to meet international buyers, and presented the package at Cannes. There was talk about playing the potential awards for A-Lister and The Star of Films With a fierce force movie, Jungle Cruise and Moana Franchise.
The company struck the date on October 3 after it was revealed that Lionsgate might be rethinking how to release a Michael Jackson biopic as two and pushing from that day to 2026.
Produced by Safdie Smashing Machine Through his Earl, along with Johnson, Danny Garcia and Hiram Garcia, along with $7 productions David Coplan and Eli Bush.
Former wrestler and Mixed Martial Artis Kerr are two-time UFC heavyweight tournament champions and have won many other titles. In 2003 he was the subject of the HBO documentary titled Smashing Machine.
