Picture a UFC film helmed by the acclaimed Zack Snyder – why hasn’t this come to fruition yet? Turki Alalshikh, the head of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority, is thinking big after the successful launch of UFC in the kingdom. Planning to expand stadium capacity to 30,000 and include female fighters by 2025, Alalshikh is also interested in creating a UFC movie. He envisions a film comparable to beloved classics like The Cinderella Man and is keen to explore the concept with UFC’s CEO Dana White and Snyder.
Despite divided opinions on Snyder’s recent projects like Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, he still boasts a dedicated fan base who value his distinct style. Could Snyder be the ideal choice to deliver the next standout MMA film? Hollywood could benefit from more high-quality movies centered around MMA, as recent releases like Warrior and Bruised have received mixed feedback. Given Snyder’s track record of bringing innovative and visually striking films to life, he might just be the perfect match for this thrilling new project.
