Reactor Motors, an Ethereum NFT collection containing 8,888 images of luxury race cars, is being made into a film, the digital company announced late Thursday. The Reactor Motors film will be directed by veteran director Pierre Morel, who also directed Taken and Transporter 2.
The Reactor Motors film tells the story of geophysicist Eva Mason, who discovered Reykium in an Icelandic volcano and created clean-energy race cars. Her Masonic discoveries attract the attention of an energy conglomerate who will do anything to get their hands on Raychium.
Bundlie said Morel and his business partners were drawn to the knowledge behind Reactor Motors, which led to the partnership.
“I think racing is definitely a good thing because it’s international. Everybody can understand it,” said Mike Bundlie, founder of Reactor Motors and co-founder of Abstract Entertainment. decryption. “I think it’s important that the idea is not too culturally specific, that ideally it’s something that everyone can understand.
“Reactor’s goal was to bring together the comic book community, the racing community, and the tech and gaming communities,” he added.
As Bundlie explains, Reactor Motors was announced at Stan Lee’s 100th birthday party, first as a comic book and then as a game.
Louis Leterrier, director of Marvel Studio’s 2008’s The Incredible Hulk, Now You See Me, and Fast X, will join Bundlie to produce the Reactor Motors film.
Bundlie said that due to his financial stake in the project, a cast reveal will occur later this year. He added that Reactor Motors will be a big-budget independent film, but won’t break the studio’s bank.
“It’s great… it fits in the sweet spot between high-end indies and budget studios,” Bundlie said. “This is much more attractive to studios now that they are obsessed with $200 million behemoths.”
Hollywood blockbusters are great, but Bundlie said the main goal is to revive the NFT market and bring new intellectual property to the screen.
“There is no reason why NFTs should live only in the cryptocurrency world,” he said.
“NFTs are basically just another form of art. So NFTs themselves should be able to become IP,” he continued. “There is no reason why movies have to be based solely on comic books or novels.”
