\n\tEXCLUSIVE: <\/strong>Following the success of this year\u2019s War Machine, Netflix<\/a> and Alan Ritchson<\/a> are making long-term plans under a new first-look feature deal while also revving engines on their first project under the pact.<\/p>\n

\n\tSources tell Deadline that Ritchson and Netflix have formed a creative partnership through his Dancing Skeleton production banner and set an untitled heist thriller set in the world of MotoGP<\/a> as the first project. Ritchson will star and produce, with Chris Morgan<\/a> writing the script.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe 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 \u2014 until he realizes the ringleader may be his younger brother long believed dead.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn addition to Ritchson, producers include Chris Morgan and Ainsley Morgan for Chris Morgan Productions and Joe Roth and Jeff Kirschenbaum for RK Films.<\/p>\n

\n\tRitchson, Morgan, Kirschenbaum and Roth pitched the project as Fast & Furious with motorcycles, which excited the studio given Morgan and Kirschenbaum\u2019s ties to that Universal franchise. Morgan helped relaunch the Fast franchise at the studio, having written seven films starting with the fourth, while Kirschenbaum was co-president of production and the main exec overseeing the relaunch before he segued into producing.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe new project will have MotoGP\u2019s full support, with the motorcycle road-racing championship signing a deal to help consult on the film, aiding in its development.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs for Ritchson\u2019s partnership with Netflix, the deal comes after the success of War Machine, which recently claimed No. 10 spot on Netflix\u2019s Most Popular Movies list with 139.9 million views in its first 91 days after hitting the streamer in March.<\/p>\n

\n\tUnder the Netflix deal, Ritchson will star in and produce a slate of feature films for Netflix.<\/p>\n

\n\tRecently, Ritchson was tapped to headline Maelstrom, Jaume Collet-Serra\u2019s buzzy new action package at Netflix. The project brings together talent from two of the streamer\u2019s biggest action hits \u2014 Collet-Serra, who directed Carry-On, and Ritchson \u2014 for the story of a federal marshal guarding an arms dealer\u2019s fianc\u00e9e as a hurricane traps them together with a wave of incoming mercenaries.<\/p>\n

\n\tRitchson\u2019s growing Netflix film slate is coupled with a move into unscripted television, where he\u2019s leading an untitled survival competition series for the streamer and producing alongside Bunim\/Murray Productions.<\/p>\n

\n\tFounded by Ritchson, Dancing Skeleton produces original film and television projects across all platforms, with a focus on high-impact, audience-driven storytelling from distinctive creative voices<\/p>\n
