Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson, a notable figure in UFC, along with writer Joel Silverman has co-founded Rampage ‘n J Productions, a collaborative venture shaped by their shared love for producing compelling content. Their venture has engaged Tyler Kroos from Kroos Entertainment Group to guide them in their debut project, which promises to be quite an exciting journey.
Their maiden undertaking is a reality series titled ‘Rampage Jackson’s Resurrecting: Riddick’, which is set to illuminate Jackson’s heartfelt efforts to uplift fallen sporting legends. The narrative of the inaugural season revolves around the story of Riddick Bowe, a former two-time heavyweight champion whose life took a tragic downturn.
Bowe, despite earning a substantial career fortune of $80 million, now finds himself on the fringes of society, destitute, and potentially grappling with untreated injuries. Rampage ‘n J Productions, through its self-funded venture, aims to bring this forgotten hero back into the light.
The reality series kickstarts with an hour-long pilot, completely financed and produced by Rampage ‘n J Productions. The pilot episode showcases the incredible journey of rehabilitation and recovery that Bowe is about to undertake, with the goal of reintegrating into society and reclaiming a sense of self-worth.
In a captivating appearance, Sean Penn, the Oscar-winning actor, joins the episode to lend his support to Bowe’s recovery process. The series is not just about highlighting these athletes’ predicaments but also features celebrity fans who join in on the journey, showing their support and solidarity with the featured athletes.
One of the prominent voices of the project, Silverman, opens up about the genesis of this transformational series. ‘Rampage had already been engaging in proactive assistance for these struggling sports icons on his own accord, even before the concept of a series even existed,’ shares Silverman.
Silverman adds further, ‘He delivers not just physical assistance and mental health aid to these athletes, but also helps them reconnect with their families. In many cases, he has been instrumental in helping them explore new career paths. He has truly helped in resurrecting them from their challenging circumstances.’
Working side by side with Kroos and the Rampage ‘n J team is Mackenzie Gabriel-Vaught, who has been assigned as the president of TV and film department. Gabriel-Vaught comes with prior experience as a VP of programming at Chuck Lorre Productions, making her a valuable addition to the burgeoning company.
Venturing beyond the scope of ‘Rampage Jackson Resurrecting: Riddick’, Rampage ‘n J Productions is already in the process of expanding its portfolio. The production company has started assembling a cast for their upcoming crime drama ‘The Virgins’, lending an exciting edge to their future projects.
‘The Virgins’ takes us to a completely different landscape as it’s set against the backdrop of the U.S. Virgin Islands. The shift from a reality series to a gripping crime drama further demonstrates the production company’s ambition for diverse storytelling.
Plans for the pilot episode of ‘The Virgins’ have already been set into motion. Rampage ‘n J Productions has anchored a timeline for the pilot episode to be filmed in 2026, showcasing a forward-thinking vision and proactive planning for the company’s growth and diversification.
With a range of production ideas in their pipeline, Rampage ‘n J Productions seems committed to carving their niche in the entertainment industry. By merging tales of human struggles with the potential for transformation, they aim to create lasting narratives that resonate with audiences on a deeper level.
In closing, Rampage ‘n J Productions, with its myriad of engaging projects, is poised to reshape the landscape of sports-based reality programming and crime drama series. Infused with a passion for heartfelt storytelling, these projects promise to elevate the human spirit and celebrate the resilience inherent in all of us.
