We hear the deal landed in the $3-4M range.<\/p>\n Pic 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 revealed first footage<\/a> during Venice.<\/p>\n Directed by Potsy Ponciroli (Old Henry) from a screenplay by Chad St. John (London Has Fallen), the film features a propulsive, needle-drop score curated by Jack White.<\/p>\n Pic\u00a0is produced by Greg Silverman and Jon Berg for Stampede Ventures, Joshua Harris for Peachtree Media and Gramercy Park Media, and Cliff Roberts. The deal was negotiated by Mark Ward for RLJE Films and Range Select and WME Independent on behalf of the filmmakers.<\/p>\n Ponciroli commented: \u201cWe shot\u00a0Motor City\u00a0to be immersive, every frame, every sound, designed for a theater. It\u2019s a love letter to Detroit, to 70s cinema, and to the kind of filmmaking you can feel. It\u2019s the kind of movie that makes you happy that theaters still exist.\u201c<\/p>\n \u201cMotor City\u00a0<\/strong>hits like a freight train \u2013 raw, stylish, and completely unforgettable,\u201d said Chief Acquisitions Officer of RLJE Films Mark Ward. \u201cLed by an extraordinary cast, Potsy Ponciroli has crafted an electric cinematic journey that demands to be seen on the big screen.\u201d<\/p>\n Best of Deadline<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for Deadline’s Newsletter<\/a>.
