Episode Details

Chris Hemsworth’s production company, Wild State, is set to turn the legendary Finke Desert Race into a Hollywood blockbuster — complete with a feature film and documentary series — as the 50th anniversary of the brutal Australian off-road event looms. Originally born in 1976 with motorcycle riders racing to Aputula, the race evolved with cars in 1988 and decades of grit, tech, and drama. Hemsworth, a confirmed biking enthusiast, is reportedly being cast in a key role — likely on two wheels — with Concrete Cowboys’ writers penning the story focused on elite competitors. Filming is eyed for Alice Springs, where local stakeholders and Screen Territory are rallying behind the project, citing major economic upside and government incentives. While still in early stages, this ambitious venture promises to spotlight Australia’s toughest race — and Hemsworth’s star power — on a global scale.
