A new project for Ronda Rousey.
Justin Kroll at Deadline reports that Ronda Rousey has a deal to adapt a script of her memoirs into a biopic that would stream on Netflix.
Chernin Entertainment is expected to produce, but that deal has not closed.
Rousey has two biographies, “My Fight/Your Fight” and “Our Fight,” written and released covering her life and careers in MMA and WWE.
The report notes, “The project was originally set up at Paramount in 2015 when the studio acquired the rights to her first memoir My Fight/Your Fight. Following a handful of regime changes at the studio, the rights would eventually lapse with Netflix ultimately jumping on them after Netflix exec, Michelle Evans, championed the project after being a long time fan of Rousey.”
While Rousey is writing the script, she reportedly will not star in the film.
Rousey has been working as an intern at WME’s Story Department.
