Johnson has been eying the role in this project ever since his company Seven Bucks Productions acquired the rights in 2019. The Smashing Machine finally started taking shape when Benny Safdie came on board as its director, along with the acclaimed indie studio A24.

Safdie previously collaborated with A24 on his breakout film Uncut Gems with his brother Josh. Noah Sacco, the company’s head of film, said he’s looking forward to their next collaboration and added they’re deeply honored to have Johnson and Safdie bring this incredibly special project to life.

Johnson and his Seven Bucks’s production partner Dany Garcia are also executive producing the project, along with Eli Bush, David Koplan, and Safdie through Out for the Count.

The Smashing Machine will center on Mark Kerr’s struggle with addiction, winning, love, and friendship in 2000. The two-time UFC heavyweight champion has been previously the subject of an HBO documentary of the same name, which chronicled his addiction to painkillers and the “no holds barred” aspect of early MMA competitions.

Christensen’s return in the role of Darth Vader has been confirmed back in December. In early March, the Game of Thrones actress Indira Varma joined the series in an unspecified role, before the cast list was expanded even further, to include a couple of familiar faces.

Joel Edgerton and Bonnie Piesse are set to return as Luke Skywalker’s Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru, who first appeared in Star Wars: Attack of the Clones. They took care of baby Luke after Anakin Skywalker turned to the dark side and eventually became Darth Vader.

The cast of this highly-anticipated series will also include Moses Ingram, Kumail Nanjiani, Rupert Friend, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Sung Kang, Simone Kessell, and Benny Safdie. Obi-Wan Kenobi will start filming later this month, and its official release date is yet to be revealed.
