Motor City, the crime-revenge thriller starring Alan Ritchson (Reacher), Shailene Woodley (Big Little Lies), Pablo Schreiber (Halo), and Ben Foster (Hell or High Water) has been acquired by RLJE Films.
It is expected to be released in theaters in 2026.
Directed by Potsy Ponciroli (Greedy People), the dialogue-free film made its world premiere at the 2025 Venice Film Festival, followed by its North American debut at the Toronto International Film Festival.
Motor City takes place in 1970s Detroit, where a working-class romantic is framed by a ruthless gangster after falling for his girlfriend. After years in prison, he returns with only one mission: revenge.
“We shot Motor City to be immersive, every frame, every sound, designed for a theater. It’s a love letter to Detroit, to 70s cinema, and to the kind of filmmaking you can feel. It’s the kind of movie that makes you happy that theaters still exist.” – said Director Potsy Ponciroli.
“Motor City hits like a freight train – raw, stylish, and completely unforgettable,” added Chief Acquisitions Officer of RLJE Films Mark Ward. “Led by an extraordinary cast, Potsy Ponciroli has crafted an electric cinematic journey that demands to be seen on the big screen.”
