EXCLUSIVE: Pierre Morel, the veteran action director behind Taken, has been tapped to direct a feature based on the popular racing NFT Reactor Motors from the company of the same name, Deadline has learned.
The film will be produced by Morel, Mike Bundlie and Barry Levine (Oblivion, Hercules) of Abstract Entertainment, and Renee Tab of Sentient Entertainment (Peppermint, Overdrive).
Created by artist and Abstract co-founder Bundlie, Reactor Motors‘ storyline follows geophysicist Eva Mason as she accidentally discovers a new mineral she calls Reykium while researching geothermal energy in Iceland’s volcanoes. The mineral is energetically reactive to metal which she and her team convert into the future of clean energy race cars in hopes of making it globally available. Subsequently, her team’s racing wins catch the attention of an energy conglomerate that will do anything to acquire the Reykium engine.
“Pierre is the perfect director for Reactor with his ability to convey deeply emotional connections to characters within a high octane action setting,” Bundlie told Deadline. “Having him, Abstract and Sentient at the helm, is our dream team for introducing the world of Reactor to a new audience. “I’m overjoyed to be bringing this world to the screen that has been so passionately supported by the collectors.”
As the first procedurally generated video NFT collection on Open Sea, the custom designed cars of Reactor, each one unique with varying levels of rarity, quickly sold out to curious fans. Those fans became a community as Reactor Motors expanded the brand into the first console-style NFT racing game built in Unreal Engine, where owners of the NFT Reactor cars can race each other in a 3D world immersed in the storyline.
