In a world of quick clicks and even quicker scenes, a new project is making waves by daring to be different. “The Barcelona Job,” the first-ever blockbuster collaboration between powerhouse NakedSword and Rhyheim Shabazz’s creator-led studio Voyr, is more than just a movie—it’s a full-blown cinematic event. Headlined by two of the industry’s most magnetic stars, Rhyheim Shabazz and Sir Peter, this Spanish escapade is proving that storytelling is as sexy as the action itself.
For Rhyheim Shabazz, a two-time GayVN Performer of the Year, the film was a chance to conquer a new frontier: acting.
“This is my first try at acting during my career. It’s a good thing that I love and trust everyone that worked on this project, because I was so intimidated by it all. I’m always paranoid about looking silly in scripted content.” – Rhyheim Shabazz
Stepping into the Spotlight
Even for a superstar like Rhyheim, tackling a scripted role felt like a huge leap. But with a script from newcomer Wes Matthews and a crew he trusted, he dove in headfirst. The project, a high-stakes thriller centered around the heist of the fabled NakedSword Diamond, sees Sir Peter as the mastermind thief, leading an all-star cast including Allen King, Heath Halo, and Bastian Karim.
The film isn’t just a win for the performers; it’s a testament to the power of creator-owned platforms. Rhyheim launched Voyr in late 2023 to merge high-quality production with the raw energy of performers known for their social media savvy. This collaboration marks Voyr’s first story-driven feature, a move that fans and insiders are watching closely.
More Than Just a Pretty Face
Sir Peter, who has a background in theater, jumped at the chance to sink his teeth into a complex character. But for him, the project carries a deeper meaning about opportunity and recognition in the industry, especially for international talent.
“What makes this project unique is that nobody expected this group of people to deliver such strong performances—especially when it comes to acting. If you’re not an American actor living in the U.S., you have to work 100 times harder just to be seen as deserving. The only thing that separates us from American performers is opportunity.” – Sir Peter
The film also brings together a powerhouse directing duo, Alter Sin and Alternativa, who masterfully balanced the slick action with scorching hot scenes. The cast is a who’s who of Voyr’s Brazilian talent, including Andy Rodrigues, Caio Rodrigues, Gabriel Coimbra, and more, making this a truly global production.
The Libra Connection
Bringing Rhyheim and Sir Peter back together was a stroke of genius. The pair already snagged a GayVN Award for Best Duo, and their chemistry is undeniable. Fans on social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter) have been buzzing with excitement, heralding the reunion of this “dream team.” But according to the stars themselves, their connection goes beyond the set.
“We’re two very different individuals, each facing our own challenges… But maybe because we’re both Libras, we end up thinking the same way 90% of the time. Rhyheim is an incredible man. I can talk to him, learn from him—and yeah, have amazing sex, too, because he’s very hot (and he knows it).” – Sir Peter
Rhyheim feels the same way, praising his co-star’s character on and off-screen.
“Sir Peter is one of those performers that’s so well-rounded… He’s just one of the most decent human beings I’ve ever met. When we get together, it just clicks. So working with him is always a gift.” – Rhyheim Shabazz
The Magic of Barcelona
The choice of Barcelona as the backdrop was no accident. For director Alter Sin, it was a chance to shoot a love letter to his hometown. For Rhyheim, it was a full-circle moment.
“Barcelona is where I decided to become a content creator… where I shot my first studio scene… and now it’s the city where I shot my first full-length movie,” Rhyheim shared. “It’s a city full of culture and beauty. It’s also home to a sexual freedom unlike any other place I’ve been.”
This passion is visible in every frame, with director Alter Sin focusing heavily on achieving a mainstream film aesthetic through careful lighting and post-production.
“Working with Sir Peter and Rhyheim is a real gift. Who wouldn’t want to work with the best? They’re committed, hardworking, professional—but above all, good people.” – Alter Sin
“The Barcelona Job” is more than just a hit; it’s a blueprint for the future. It’s about talent getting the opportunities they deserve, creators taking control of their narratives, and the magic that happens when the right people come together to tell a great story. As Sir Peter puts it, it’s all about the hustle for that one thing everyone is chasing.
“This role was a blessing. I’m truly grateful, and this year, I have several projects coming out that will prove to fans just how hard I’ve been working for that one thing we all chase: an opportunity.” – Sir Peter
