Rampage ‘n J Productions Shops ‘Rampage Jackson’s Resurrecting: Riddick’ Pilot Featuring Sean Penn (EXCLUSIVE)
Rampage ‘n J Productions, a production company created by UFC vet Quinton “Rampage” Jackson and writer Joel Silverman (“Garo,” “undefeated”), has teamed up with manager Tyler Kroos of Kroos Entertainment Group to take out the company’s first project, “Rampage Jackson’s Resurrecting: Riddick.”
The reality series will chronicle Jackson’s attempts to help out fallen sports heroes. For the show’s first season, the plan is to rehabilitate the life of two-time heavyweight champion Riddick Bowe. According to the producers, Bowe “earned $80 million in his career but is now homeless and hobbled by untreated injuries.”
Rampage ‘n J Productions self-financed and produced the one-hour pilot for the series. In that first episode, Oscar winner Sean Penn appears to help in Bowe’s recovery and rehabilitation. The plan is to continue to bring on celebrity fans in future episodes.
“Rampage was intensively helping these iconic broken athletes on his own before we even thought about doing it as a series,” said Silverman. “It’s beautifully transformational because Ram actually brings these broken warriors back to life, getting them physical and psychological treatment, helping them reconcile with families, even finding them new careers.”
Working alongside Kroos for Rampage ‘n J is Mackenzie Gabriel-Vaught, who has recently joined as president of TV and film. She previously served as VP of programming for Chuck Lorre Productions and headed Mayim Bialik’s Sad Clown Productions.
In addition to “Rampage Jackson Resurrecting: Riddick,” Rampage ‘n J Productions has begun casting for its project The Virgins,” a crime drama set in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The pilot for that series is slated to film in 2026.
