It looks like WWE Studios has entered into a new relationship with Netflix. Interestingly, however, neither company has officially announced their new working partnership.
PWInsider has reported that the first collaborative effort between WWE Studios and the streaming platform will be begun shooting this summer.
The shoot will be done in Vancouver, British Colombia with filming starting later this month, carrying on through until late August.
WWE Studios have been working with Netflix to develop original feature films. The plan is to release them straight onto Netflix’s streaming platform, potentially foregoing WWE’s usual straight-to-DVD model. These movies will be aimed at children and families.
The movie itself is entitled The Main Event. It will tell the story of a bullied ten-year-old boy who dreams go growing up to become a WWE professional wrestler. However, he gets to live his dream earlier than expected when he discovers the secret to having super-strength in his breakfast cereal, becoming “The Spaghetti Kid.”
This being a WWE Studios project, WWE Superstars are rumored to be involved. John Cena is supposedly referenced and featured in a cameo at some point during the movie. Other Superstars slated to appear in The Main Event include Sheamus, The Miz, and Bray Wyatt.
The screenplay for The Main Event was written by Larry Postel. He wrote another film called Flip Turn that, although produced earlier in the year, has yet to be released.
