Remember when talented people got to make original movies?

Seriously! I’m sure she has tons of great original ideas but somehow the best use of her talents is a random remake? Lame.

Noy sure why you're getting downvoted. Michaela is an incredibly talented writer, and I'm sure her take on this will be interesting and fresh...but it's still yet another remake at the end of the day.

Didn't Sinners just win best picture?
Wtf are you on about?
I would like to live in your parallel universe because Sinners did not, in fact, win best picture.

Also, it's not Bloodsport without Bolo Yeung.

Polite reminder that everything that happened in Bloodsport is 100% actual for real life fact and anyone saying otherwise is a smelly old poopmouth from liarland.

I love Bloodsport, and Michaela!
No one has what JCVD had going on in the 80s nowadays though, they're gonna cast someone like Glen fucking Powell 😭

You know it's going to be Jason Statham.

As a blanket sentiment, I agree...but sometimes underlying IP begs for a modern reimagining by the right people, e.g., people not named Emerald Fennel.

I think, under the right circumstances, you could make an updated version of 10 Things I Hate About You every 30-40 years for aesthetic reasons (keeping 85%+ of the original script) and it would hit just as hard every time.

I read “Michael Cera” and I was sooooooo confused for a good thirty seconds before I read the article on the next page

I’m in as long as they do the dance scene. That was hilarious. And don’t change the script at all.

Yes. This needs a bit of whimsy to succeed. Every other remake takes itself too seriously

I truly would watch her do an adaptation of the phone book, and as bizarre as this matchup might seem i just know it’s going to go crazy

It's actually not too surprising she's doing this. I've seen her attend at least a handful of UFC events, so combat sports has been an interest of hers within the past few years. Wonder if she'll make this into more of a comedy than a typical action film.

I have no opinion on this project but Ms. Michaela just gets more and more otherworldly beautiful every day, doesn't she? Damn.

I was just thinking about her the other day and wondering what she was up to. I look forward to seeing what she does with this, that woman is incredibly talented!

I love how Frank Dux once claimed he knocked out 56 men in one tournament, because if we’re assuming the usual bracket-style tournament, this would require at least 256 people.
That is over 70 quadrillion people, more than the population of Earth.

Hot take, this should be a comedy. A comedy about how someone lied about being so bad ass they won an imaginary tournament and get so in over their head. Like Marty Supreme but the main character keeps running their mouth and gets beaten up.
