As noted, The Rock and his Seven Bucks productions will team up with WWE Studios to produce a movie based on WWE star Paige and her wrestling family. The movie is inspired by the “The Wrestlers: Fighting With My Family” documentary seen above.
According to Deadline.com, the movie will retain the title of the doc, “Fighting with My Family”, and actress Florence Pugh will star as Paige. Actor Jack Lowden will star as her brother Zak, and The Rock himself is slated to have a role in the film.
The movie is expected to begin filming in London and Los Angeles this month, and below is the synopsis according to Deadline:
“[Fighting with My Family] follows the story of reformed gangster and former wrestler Ricky, his wife Julia, daughter Saraya and son Zak who make a living performing in tiny venues across the country. Ricky and Julia want a better life for their children and when brother and sister get the chance to audition for the WWE, it seems the family dream is coming true and all their troubles will be solved. However, Saraya and Zak are about to learn that becoming a WWE Superstar demands more than they ever imagined possible as athletes and siblings.”
