Dwayne Johnson has announced that Vince Vaughn (Hacksaw Ridge, True Detective) has joined the cast of the real-life wrestling comedy/drama Fighting With My Family.
Stephen Merchant (The Office, Hello Ladies) has signed on to write, direct and executive produce Fighting With My Family.
The film is inspired by the Channel 4 British documentary The Wrestlers: Fighting With My Family and tells 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.
WWE Studios are co-financing the film with Film4, who have developed the project from its inception.
