The new feature length film ‘Fighting With My Family’ has been garnering rave reviews recently. The biopic of WWE Superstar Paige follows her early life through to her career in the WWE. The film was written by Office star Stephen Merchant and produced by Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson.
Hollywood star John Krasinski recently saw the film and tweeted some comments on the biopic. Krasinski said “Had the great pleasure of seeing the film #Fightingwithmyfamily tonight, written and directed by good friend @stephenmerchant and produced by Dave @therock Johnson! It’ll make you laugh, cry… and suplex! Congrats to all involved!”
The Rock was quick to note that his name had been…incorrectly written. Dwayne responded to Krasinski saying “Whaaaaat an assh*le. If I’ve told you once, I’ve told you a thousand times… it’s Darnell, not Dave. Thrilled you and Blunty loved our movie.”
Johnson recently made some public comments on the film and why Hollywood studios weren’t interested in Paige’s story. “We wanted a studio to buy into it, and no one did,” Rock said. “We got passed on everywhere. It was a small British comedy about a crazy wrestling family that wasn’t famous.”
Danny Garcia, who oversees Seven Bucks Productions added, “Wrestling is the conduit for Paige’s journey, and that has a certain stigma.”
