Los Angeles: Actor Alan Ritchson is set to feature in Netflix's heist thriller set in the world of MotoGP.
The actor and Netflix have formed a creative partnership through his Dancing Skeleton production banner, according to the entertainment news outlet Deadline. He will also produce the film.
The film revolves around a crew of motorcycle thieves who begin stealing priceless antiquities around the world. Interpol recruits a onetime MotoGP prodigy (Ritchson) to catch them, until he realises the ringleader may be his younger brother long believed dead.
Chris Morgan and Ainsley Morgan under Chris Morgan Productions and Joe Roth and Jeff Kirschenbaum for RK Films are also producing the film alongside the actor.
The film will have MotoGP’s full support, with the motorcycle road-racing championship signing a deal to help consult on the film.
Ritchson's latest film is "War Machine", where he essayed the role of a U S Army Ranger. He will next feature in "Runner", directed by Scott Waugh and "The Man with the Bag", co-starring with Arnold Schwarzenegger.
