Kauai and Jose Padilha Netflix Project (Assembly Lance!)

Brazilian fighter Rickson Gracie, son of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu founder Helio Gracie, Will become a Netflix film under the direction of Brazilian filmmaker Jose Padilha, author of the film ‘Tropa d’Elite 1 and 2’. The most famous family member in the world of fighting told this news in an interview to ‘Egg, Fight’.

Rickson said that Padilha’s initial idea would be to reconcile his life story with that of a Japanese immigrant who lived in Brazil and was a friend of his grandfather. However, now everyone will have a film to call their own.

– Jose Padilha’s idea of my life was combined with Mitsuyo Maeda, ‘Konde Koma’ who traveled all over the world and stayed in Brazil to help Japanese immigration, he was a great Jiu-Jitsu champion and he became Friends with my grandfather and then my uncle taught jiu-jitsu. It will be a two-story film, mine and his. But now in this new production they parted ways and decided to make a film for me and her. We are in the pre-production process, it is underway and everything is set to start filming soon in October or November – he said.

The film will be called ‘Dear or Alive’ (Dead or Alive, in free translation) and will feature actor Cos Raymond in the lead. Rickson played with and admired the profile of the chosen heartthrob.

– Who luck would it be? Although she is not as pretty as me, she is a jiu-jitsu black belt and a surfer. There is a lot to be done in this. We have a lot in common and it’s a pleasure for me to have a super actor like Kaus to play my character – he said.

Rickson is Helio Gracie’s third son and has never been defeated in his career. There were 486 (11 of which were professionals), all completed with submission, knockout, or withdrawal from the opponent. The 62-year-old martial artist recently released a book called ‘Breathe’, which remained among the top sellers in the United States for two months.
