In 2012, Dwayne Johnson founded Seven Bucks Productions alongside his business partners Dany and Hiram Garcia. Since its creation, the company has co-produced films like Shazam! and Fighting With My Family. Additionally, the company produces most films Johnson stars in himself. During a conversation on the Busted Open podcast, professional wrestling legend Ric Flair revealed his own biopic is in the works from Johnson’s company in collaboration with WWE.
“I talked to Dwayne and Dany Garcia and Hiram Garcia and they’re gonna collaborate, the last time I heard, for all this stuff and make a movie with the WWE about me with Sue Levison, who now is with WWE and is doing a fabulous job. Sue’s got a great background, Flair explained. “As soon as everything gets rolling again after that, they’ll make that movie. I am looking forward to that because I’ll have a lot of input.”
