It's not every film that begins life by Dwayne Johnson watching a British documentary about the family of a WWE wrestling champ at three in the morning while shooting a Fast & Furious film in London. But that's exactly the story behind Fighting With My Family, which has added Lena Headey and Nick Frost to its cast.
Johnson, who decided to develop the story as a producer, is apparently also taking a small role in the film, which follows Norwich-born Paige (AKA Saraya-Jade Bevis), a controversial WWE wrestler who has been in the ring since the age of 13. Her entire family are in the sport, and she's often wrestled alongside her mother, Julia.
Lady Macbeth's Florence Pugh is on to play Paige, with Jack Lowden as her brother. Johnson asked his former Tooth Fairy co-star Stephen Merchant to write and direct the film, adapting the original documentary The Wrestlers: Fighting With My Family. The cameras should be rolling in Los Angeles and London this month.
