Leo Barraclough International Features Editor Ted Field’s Radar Pictures, best known for the “Jumanji” and “The Chronicles of Riddick” franchises, has teamed with James Leon’s 8th Gear Entertainment to produce action-thriller “Breakneck,” centering on a female driver who moves between the worlds of getaway driving and Formula E racing.
The project is eyed as a franchise-starter in the vein of “Fast & Furious,” and is being made in partnership with FIA ABB Formula E, electric racing’s championship organizer.
Jim Byrkit (“Coherence”) will direct from a script by Nick Kocher (“Saturday Night Live”). “Breakneck” chronicles the story of a racer, who — despite growing up as a poor orphan — climbs the Formula E ranks only to have her first ePrix race end terribly, and in her removal from the sport.
To make ends meet, she becomes a getaway driver for a gang in Miami, still reminiscing of her days as a Formula E driver. Having almost given up on her dreams, a British billionaire offers her an opportunity to rejoin Formula E, but it comes with a catch — she must raise millions of dollars herself to secure a seat.
