Zack Snyder has signed on to direct “Brawler,” a new feature about a L.A. man who rises in the world of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). The filmmaker, who will also co-write and produce, is teaming with Dana White’s UFC for the film, as well as His Excellency Turki Alashikh, chairman of the General Entertainment Authority of Saudi Arabia and owner of boxing magazine The Ring.
“I’ve been a fan of Zack’s work for years, his unique style — from his iconic action sequences to his sweeping visuals and intensely emotional storytelling — coupled with his humanized portrayal of deeply-flawed characters is singular,” Alashikh said in a statement. “I couldn’t think of a better person to partner with to bring the UFC to the big screen. The Ring Magazine, with its 103-year legacy, will support to ensure the project’s success.”
Shay Hatten and Kurt Johnstad will also serve as co-writers. Producers alongside Zack Snyder include Deborah Snyder and Wesley Coller for their banner Stone Quarry. Alashikh, Johnstad and Hatten are executive producers, along with Craig Borsari, chief content officer of UFC.
“Behind every great fighter is the story of how they got there,” said Snyder. “UFC is the world leader in combat sports and I’m honored to be partnering with them to tell this incredible story.”
