Simmons, and Lucy Liu; ‘Kate Warne,’ also for Amazon, an action-packed biopic starring Emily Blunt as the first female Pinkerton agent; ‘Moana,’ a live-action remake of the animated feature, directed by Thomas Kail from a script by Jared Bush and Dana Ledoux Miller; new installments in the ‘Fast and Furious’ and ‘Jumanji’ franchises; and, in partnership with Vice Studios, a docuseries investigating the mysterious demise of World Championship Wrestling (WCW), once the biggest wrestling company in America.
Vice and Seven Bucks Productions also worked together on “Tales from the Territories,” a 2022 series that looked back at the territorial era of pro wrestling. That series was from “Dark Side of the Ring” co-creators Evan Husney and Jason Eisener.
WCW went out of business in 2001 and was purchased by WWE. After WCW’s demise, The Rock held the WCW World Championship twice in 2001 when the title was featured on WWF television.
