Fight Club is one of those films that has achieved a massive cult following over the last 20 years or so.
And now, years later, an all-female spin on the movie is being released.
A new indie film called Chick Fight tells the story of an all-female fight club, and we’re intrigued.
The new movie will star Malin Akerman Bella Thorne and Alec Baldwin – an impressive lineup.
“Akerman stars as Anna, who still hasn’t reconciled with the recent death of her adored mother. She’s just discovered that her loving and supportive father is gay, and she accidentally burns down her uninsured coffee shop after learning a thrown joint and a spilled bottle of moonshine don’t mix.”
“Knowing Anna needs to be abruptly shaken and stirred from her deep funk, her best friend takes her to an all-women underground fight club, where she encounters an eclectic cast of characters.”
At the fight club, Anna meets Olivia (played by Bella Thorne), who is the most brutal fighter, and the pair become rivals in all aspects of life, not just in the ring.
Anna is helped by solitary trainer Jack Murphy (Alec Baldwin), who helps Anna find “her inner strength and true purpose in the most primal of ways”.
Chick Fight begins filming in January 2020.
