Ric Flair biopic in the works from The Rock and Dany Garcia’s Seven Bucks Productions
According to TheWrap.com, a biopic about WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair is in the works from Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Dany Garcia’s Seven Bucks Productions. Rock gave a statement regarding the project…
“WOO!
As a wild kid, who grew up in the wild world of professional wrestling, I idolized, “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair. He was one of my heroes. And once I broke into the wrestling business and began to spill my own sweat and blood in arenas across America – my reverence for Ric turned to great respect. Because I realized just how rare and almost impossible it is to truly disrupt the wrestling business, and truly change the game – and that’s exactly what Ric Flair did.
Ric Flair had a relentless passion to be the greatest of all time, but with achieving that GOAT status – he also sacrificed it all and paid a heavy price.
And lived to tell the story.
I’ve known Ric since I was 8 years old when he and my dad, Rocky “Soulman” Johnson were wrestling together in the NWA (National Wrestling Alliance)
This project is personal for me and we at @sevenbucksprod
& #KevinMischer films can’t wait to tell his unbelievable story.
As always, ‘thank you for the house, Ric’

Misher Films’ Kevin Misher, who collaborated with Seven Bucks Productions on the Fighting with My Family film about Paige/Saraya, will also be involved in the project.
