Taken Director to Helm Ethereum NFT Collection Reactor Motors Movie

The Reactor Motors film will tell the story of Geophysicist Eva Mason, who discovers Reykium in a Volcano in Iceland, leading to clean energy race cars. Mason’s discovery attracts the attention of an energy conglomerate that will do anything to get their hands on Reykium.

Bundlie said Morel and his business partner gravitated towards the lore behind Reactor Motors leading to the partnership.

“Racing is certainly something that I think is nice because it’s international—everybody can understand it,” Reactor Motors creator and Abstract Entertainment Co-Founder Mike Bundlie told Decrypt. “I think it’s important for ideas to not be too culturally specific in the sense that, ideally, it’s something that everybody can understand.

“With Reactor the goal was combining the comic book community with the racing community with the tech and gaming community,” he added.

As Bundlie explains, Reactor Motors was announced at what would have been Stan Lee’s 100th birthday party, first as a comic book, then as a game.

Louis Leterrier, director of Marvel Studio’s 2008 The Incredible Hulk, Now You See Me, and Fast X, will join Bundlie in creating the Reactor Motors movie.

Bundlie said that thanks to a financial interest in the project, the timeline for a cast reveal should happen later this year. He added that Reactor Motors would be a high-budget independent movie but one that wouldn’t break a studio’s bank.

“It’s nice… it fits in that sweet spot between a higher-end indie and a lower-end studio,” Bundlie said. “This makes it much more attractive to studios right now, who are getting busted up on these $200 million behemoths.”

While a Hollywood blockbuster would be nice, Bundlie said the main goal is resuscitating the NFT marketplace and bringing new intellectual properties to the screen.

“There’s no reason that NFTs have to live in just the crypto world,” he said.

“At their base, NFTs are simply another form of art… as such, they should be able to become IP themselves,” he continued. “There’s no reason that a movie has to be drawn exclusively from a comic book or from a novel.”
