Motor City has now secured a theatrical release date for 2026. Starring Alan Ritchson and featuring essentially no dialogue, the film premiered at the Venice International Film Festival earlier this year. RLJE Films, a distribution vertical within the IFC Entertainment Group, now announces that it has secured U.S. distribution rights for Motor City. Director Potsy Ponciroli shared the following statement about the deal: "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.“ Chief Acquisitions Officer of RLJE Films Mark Ward also celebrated the acquisition, praising the film and its theatrical potential: “Motor City hits like a freight train – raw, stylish, and completely unforgettable. Led by an extraordinary cast, Potsy Ponciroli has crafted an electric cinematic journey that demands to be seen on the big screen.” More to come...
