The film, which centers on the life of WWE wrestler Paige and her family, will be written and directed by the brilliant Stephen Merchant — of all people.
Deadline reports that Merchant is writing and directing Fighting With My Family, a comedy-drama based on the Channel 4 doc, which follows a family of professional wrestlers.
Today in Uh, Okay news, the ridiculously prolific Dwayne Johnson is teaming up with the WWE and Film4 to produce a wrestling dramedy based on the Channel 4 British documentary The Wrestlers: Fighting With My Family.
Paige and her family certainly have a fascinating story, and though Merchant’s involvement seems a bit out of left field, it’s kind of exciting.
