One Championship to have it's own movie starring Russel Crowe

UFC has The Rock, ONE Championship gets Russell Crowe.

Not long after it was announced that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson would be starring as Mark Kerr in The Smashing Machine, Variety reports that Academy Award winner Russell Crowe has signed on for The Beast in Me, alongside Aussie actor Daniel MacPherson.


MacPherson plays a retired cage fighter who makes his ONE Championship return to avenge his brother’s death under the tutelage of veteran trainer Russell Crowe. The plot is so thin you can floss with it, but I suppose these movies are just an excuse to KICK BUTT.

“I am thrilled to be partnering with the star-studded cast and production team behind The Beast In Me,” ONE Championship chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong said in a recent press release. “I am confident ONE is the best platform to help tell their story of grit, perseverance, and determination. We cannot wait to host their entire team in Bangkok at a ONE Friday Fights fight week in January.”

The film will be produced Broken Open Pictures and directed by Tyler Atkins.

probably too expensive to use the UFC so they went with an org that would pay them to be in the movie.

Tyler Atkins has directed a short film, and one other full length movie prior to this. But is from Australia, so I bet he knows Crowe personally. This movie will be more significant over there

Will probably have more screen time than Crowe and other guy. Combined.

This is wrong Mark Kerr never fought in the UFC. He fought in PRIDE FC, YAMMA PIT and M-1 but never UFC.

Completely wrong. In fact the legendary just bleed guy is from a Mark Kerr UFC fight in the 90s

Another semi-MMA, semi-ProWrestling, semi-clothed promotion is also making a movie.

There should be a scene where the main characters' team is confused by the weight cut rules.

This movie has the potential to be viewed by billions in the universe.

The last Russel Crowe movie i saw he was so fat and out of shape he was relegated to sitting in a truck for the entire movie

Next they need is a SNL skit where Ariana Grande pretends to be Celine Dion signing about them...

Someone in the editing room was a fan of Keith Hackney.

And God bless that man for throwing in Gordeau/Tuli and putting the idea of down kicks into the general publics mind

Having a . promoter that prefers to freeze fighters contract is not good.

Dana White kicks out movie stars. Russell Crowe has no chance, just ask Tom Hardy

 

[Ara tech]

Not a bad idea. A movie could draw larger crowd, there are tons of story of underdog fighter who made it out of poverty, it's all about the quality of the plot and the making of the movie, these things are either a total fiasco or a classic.
