Zack Snyder Has Pitched a Female Version of The Wrestler, Starring Amy Adams

[Cremildo]

Zack Snyder revealed in an interview with The Telegraph that he pitched a female version of Darren Aronofsky’s “The Wrestler” to Amy Adams during the making of “Justice League.” Adams starred as Lois Lane in Snyder’s three DC Comics movies: “Man of Steel,” “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,” and “Justice League.” There is no script written for Snyder’s “Wrestler”-inspired movie, but he said Adams is enthused by the idea.

“It’s a kind of female version of ‘The Wrestler,’ about a midwestern housewife who happens to have a pretty good body, and starts to do some bodybuilding competitions, and then falls down a rabbit hole of steroids and hormones,” Snyder said. “It becomes a contest between fitness and family, and she loses her family because she’s spending all her money on diet supplements and drugs and trainers, and all of that stuff.”

Snyder added that he pitched Adams specifically on the role “because it would be such a hugely hard job just training to the point at which it was believable. And you need someone like Amy who loves the craft to do it.” [+]

Or just watch The Wrestler.

Sounds kinda dumb, there’s probably a good film in steroid addiction but Snyder’s pitch just doesn’t envision it in me.

So not "The Wrestler"?

Snyder just needs to stop. Stop everything. Can’t remember the last time such a horrible filmmaker got so much press. Seems like every 30 seconds, it’s something new with him.

Take your own advice.

I think Fincher worked on a similar project once. Something about female bodybuilders. Easy to see which version I’d prefer.

Or you can watch fighting with my family. Great wrestling movie centred around a female wrestler.

In a similar vein, but sounds like it would be an original movie and not a remake. Sorta along the lines of how Disturbia was clearly inspired by Rear Window, but is an original property (the Rear Window author’s estate tried to sue for copyright infringement but lost).

But the proposed project is nothing about wresting is my point. The only proposed similarity is the use of steroids/drugs, family relationship.

He's still doing interviews for Army of the Dead and interviewers are asking him what's next, it's not like he's personally spamming your feeds.

People complain there are too many Star Wars threads. Star Wars is a +40-year-old, +9 film, multi-media franchise. Zack Snyder is one guy, who a LOT of people don't even like, and he currently has seven threads on the first page of the movies forum (including nonsense like "ZS Star Wars film" and "ZS porno film").

I rather have a movie about Lincoln in his wrestling days.
