The Rock is serving as an executive producer (and actor, playing himself) for an upcoming wrestling movie based on the life of WWE superstar Paige. The trailer, above, depicts Paige (portrayed by Florence Pugh) as she and her brother attempt to enter the wrestling circuit, as well as the sibling rivalry that develops along with it.
Paige, born Saraya-Jade Bevis, was born in Norfolk, England. The 2012 documentary The Wrestlers: Fighting With My Family is centered around the brawler and her family of wrestlers. The new project is based on that documentary, which helped propel Paige into wrestling stardom.
In addition to Johnson, the film also features Lena Heady, Nick Frost, and Vince Vaughn.
Paige, who was forced to retire due to a neck injury, now currently presides as the onscreen General Manager ofSmackdown. Though Fighting With My Family may have fans eager for her return to the ring, it seems she may not be returning any time soon. When a fan asked about her rumored comeback, she quickly shut it down, despite her desire to continue wrestling.
Fighting With My Family will premiere in Los Angeles and New York City on Feb. 14, 2019, with a wide release on Feb. 22.
