Veteran director Zack Snyder is teaming up with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) to create a high-stakes action movie, Brawler. The film follows a young fighter’s journey from Los Angeles’ rough streets to a UFC championship bout, while battling inner demons and seeking redemption.
Snyder will direct, write, and produce the movie alongside his wife Deborah Snyder and Wesley Coller through their Stone Quarry production company. Turki Alalshikh and UFC chief content officer Craig Borsari will also serve as executive producers. This project marks Snyder’s latest foray into a big-screen, immersive experience after recent successes in the UFC and HBO Max.
Snyder expressed his excitement about partnering with the UFC to tell this inspiring story: “Behind every great fighter is the story of how they got there.” The Snyders’ Stone Quarry production banner has also secured an untitled LAPD project for Netflix.
