Reacher star touts new project as the biggest Netflix movie

Fans of action-packed movies have an exciting treat to look forward to with the upcoming Netflix film, War Machine. Directed by Patrick Hughes, this sci-fi thriller promises explosive combat, cutting-edge technology, and an intense storyline. Starring Alan Ritchson, known for his role in Prime Video’s Reacher, alongside Dennis Quaid, Jai Courtney, and Esai Morales, this film is set to be a game-changer.

The plot revolves around elite recruits at a special operations boot camp who must confront a lethal extraterrestrial force in a futuristic warfare setting. Filming took place in various locations across Victoria, Australia, including the RAAF Base at Laverton and Docklands Studios, with principal photography commencing in September 2024.

While War Machine does not have a release date yet, it is expected to drop sometime this year. In a recent video chat with Wired, Alan Ritchson expressed his enthusiasm and confidence in the film, suggesting that it could be Netflix’s biggest hit yet. As Ritchson put it, “This movie is gonna be a monster. This is the coolest thing they’ve ever made, guaranteed.”

This could be a significant moment for Netflix, especially considering its recent struggles with original films that have failed to meet expectations. Films like The Electric State have not resonated with audiences, prompting questions about Netflix’s ability to consistently produce exceptional content.

Ritchson’s bold remarks about War Machine may provide a fresh perspective on Netflix’s film offerings. It’s a hopeful sign that this film could break the pattern of underwhelming releases like The Electric State and Kinda Pregnant. Stay tuned for more updates on War Machine, which promises to be a must-watch for fans of thrilling, action-packed films.
