Lupita Nyong’o and Chloë Grace Moretz have been cast to play UFC fighters in a new MMA drama movie called Strawweight. The film is being directed by James M. Johnston. Strawweight is written by Paul Harrill, based on a story by Harrill and Johnston.
The film “follows the journeys of two fighters who find themselves competing against each other in the Octagon. One is a young woman (Moretz) whose life is changed forever when she discovers her passion for the UFC, while the other is a former champion (Nyong’o) who is determined to reclaim her title by reinventing herself. Both want the same thing — respect — but only one can come out on top.”
