So … who’s prepared for one more UFC film?
Lupita Nyong’o and Chloe Grace Moretz will star within the upcoming movie Strawweight, in accordance with Selection, a couple of younger lady who “discovers her ardour for UFC” dealing with a former champion “decided to reclaim her title by reinventing herself“ with the winner incomes the final word prize: “respect.”
Robust solid, weak premise — type of like Street Home starring Conor McGregor.
Strawweight might be helmed by The Inexperienced Knight producer James M. Johnston in his directorial debut. Former UFC strawweight champion Rose Namajunas will govt produce and function struggle guide. Don’t be stunned to see “Thug” make a cameo sooner or later in the course of the flick.
No phrase but on whether or not Strawweight might be launched on streaming or in theaters.
There was one other UFC-inspired film about MMA fighters looking for “respect” (they even point out it throughout the first 10 seconds of the trailer) referred to as Battle Valley starring former bantamweight champions Holly Holm and Miesha Tate. That’s in all probability the underside rung on the UFC film ladder.
Bruised, that includes Halle Berry and Valentina Shevchenko, is probably going on the high.
Whether or not that’s good or dangerous could rely on the place you set the bar for motion pictures about cage preventing. I wasn’t in love with Warrior like everybody else appeared to be although I’ll say Redbelt was a enjoyable watch, merely due to David Mamet. I assume we’ll have to attend and see how Strawweight seems earlier than passing judgement.
A launch date has but to be decided.
