Kit Harington and Billy Magnussen are set to headline Steve Pink’s new outrageous horse racing comedy Chariot.

The movie follows Paul Rovia, an oversized jockey, as he seeks redemption after causing a major racing accident that gets him suspended from the sport for two years. Desperate to compete in the Grand National again, Paul teams up with Kate O’Leary and her WILD Centaur named Chariot. Paul and Chariot clash at first but eventually form an unstoppable duo, taking the racing world by storm.
