Dwayne Johnson’s ‘The Smashing Machine’ to Release in Italy via I Wonder Pictures as Distributor Forges Closer Ties With A24


'The Smashing Machine,' starring Dwayne Johnson, will release in Italy via distributor I Wonder Pictures, along with two other A24 films.

“Smashing Machine,” which is currently in production and stars “The Rock” as legendary MMA fighter Mark Kerr, who struggled with addiction and his marriage while becoming an icon of the sport, will be released by I Wonder in Italian cinemas in 2025. I Wonder, which is owned and operated by Biografilm Festival founder Andrea Romeo, has a longstanding — albeit not exclusive — rapport with A24, having successfully released other A24 titles such as “The Zone of Interest,” Darren Aronofsky’s “The Whale” and “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” Besides “Smashing Machine,” I Wonder’s new titles now set for Italian release in 2025 also comprise A24 horror movie “Opus” from Marc Anthony Green, starring John Malkovich and Ayo Edebiri, and Isaiah Saxon’s family film “The Legend of Ochi” with Willem Dafoe, Finn Wolfhard and Emily Watson.
