"The Irishman: Official Trailer Premiere"


To all the university boys who insisted that we watch Fight Club: This one is probably not for you. Bella Thorne has joined Chick Fight, a new film about an all-woman fight club, and she’s about to give Brad Pitt’s Tyler Durden a run for his money.

© 20th Century FoxThe new action comedy is produced by Malin Ackerman, who also stars in the upcoming indie. Ackerman plays Anna, a woman grieving the loss of her mom while also dealing with some other major changes in her life, according to Deadline. Her dad just came out as gay, and the frazzled Anna just burned down her coffee shop, leaving her sans purpose.

Lost and confused, Anna finds solace in an unlikely source: an all-women underground fight club, where Thorne’s Olivia is the toughest fighter in the gang. Also in the cast is Alec Baldwin, who plays Anna’s “reclusive trainer.” The film is slated to start filming this year.
Though the film bears strong similarity to 1999’s Fight Club in premise, it also sounds like it could be a millennial version of The Karate Kid or even a (hopefully far less depressing) Million Dollar Baby. It’s been a minute since we’ve seen a good training montage — especially centred around a woman — so let’s hope that Ackerman puts on a good show in the ring and that Thorne’s ultimate fighter is as impressive as her character description proclaims her to be.

The “eclectic cast of characters” Deadline states Anna will meet could make this movie the next GLOW. Here, though, the fighting is real, and likely really brutal.

Ackerman shared her excitement for the new project on Instagram.
“So very excited to have these two talents join our little movie,” the actress wrote of the indie film. “It’s gonna be a blast!!!”

“She. Won’t stop,” Thorne added on her own Instagram. “Always wanted to do a fighting movie.”

Who knows: Maybe the poster for Chick Fight will be the next unofficial requirement for university hall walls.

If they are nude and fight in a pool full of coconut oil i am fine with it.
I hope its a no fat chicks club.

 

[From The Uncanny Valley]

Watch as they blame the Patriarchy for all their problems lmao

 

[WarJams]

Really ruins the whole vibe of the movie when every character has bitch tits.

 

[oldTireWater]

I hope it's just a montage of Joanna Jędrzejczyk beating every female cast member like a growed-ass man.

Spoiler

 

[Y2K Baby]

What if it's just a Keijo adaptation?

 

[HiddenFist]

But will one of them be a troon?

 

[CivilianOfTheFandomWars]

Really.
Isn't the idea and concept of masculinity a major theme of both the novel and the book? But what do I know, I just read.
Say this isn't just a Chixploitation ripoff of Fight Club, and actually tries to be it's own thing, do they really think that it will be able to hold a candle to one of the most well known and successful cult films ever made? Or even Million Dollar Baby, but instead of Clint Eastwood you have Alec Baldwin as the trainer?
I don't think it's going to break any records.

 

[FrickinFrackinFruckin]

Makes you wonder if this will make any money or be a box office bomb? I'm going with box office bomb!

 

[Bass]

I gotta say, I'm not exactly looking foreward to the female version of Bitch Tits Bob.

 

[REGENDarySumanai]

I know some people see some fascist themes in Fight Club, so I fully expect said themes to be completely absent in this adaptation. @CivilianOfTheFandomWars already hit the nail on the head faster than I did when it came to masculinity being a theme in both idea and concept, and removing the core concept from Fight Club just leaves it an empty shell. I'm gonna pass on this adaptation and then buy the book, and the two comic book sequels.

 

[Damn Near]

Bombs away! Somehow I'm skeptical of the female ability to grasp edgelord cinema

 

[Coolio55]

A movie about a bunch of dykes bouncing off eachother ...literally.
This gonna be fucking horrible. Even the female ghostbusters movie couldn't concoct a more obnoxious idea.
If I wanted hours of a bunch of uggo women bitching all up in my face I'd go to the HR department at my workplace.

 

[Xulphis]

My one and only visceral reaction is ew.

I have honestly never looked at any piece of media other than porn and said to myself that the presence of women specifically made it better.

 

[Scarlett Johansson]

Tbf chuck palahniuk fanboys are insufferable virgins but this is unnecessary

 

[Agarathium1066]

Watch as they blame the Patriarchy for all their problems lmao

That's very likely what it will be. These women, having been utterly crushed beneath the weight of the patriarchy's fury, will suddenly find themselves fighting one another to toughen up. Then they will unleash their 'richly deserved' fury upon some unsuspecting man who totally deserves it because of his evil, evil penis.

Then something about the patriarchy matrix, a reveal that white women are the most oppressed, and on down the line.

 

[NOT Sword Fighter Super]

How have they not learned that this won't work?

 

[Tootsie Bear]

Makes you wonder if this will make any money or be a box office bomb? I'm going with box office bomb!

Wouldn't surprise me. When was the last time someone wanted a remake of Charlie's Angels? No one and it bombed. The same can be sad about Fight Club. Remakes of beloved horror movies should have been a sign that remaking or making unnecessary sequels will blow back in Hollywood's face.

 

[CakeCutey]

How have they not learned that this won't work?

Never. They'll keep pushing and take it to their graves.

 

[The Reaper]

Maybe they could make it interesting. Have the girls get together and start fighting. Voice in head telling main girl she's the best, no one can stop her. Starts a fight with a man who beats her down in front of the whole club. Make the moral be 'you're your own worst enemy.' Rather than focus on masculinity focus on the idea of force and how you can get what you want when you exert it, but you will eventually confront someone who will not break.

Don't see a lot of ways to make it a successful movie. Certainly won't be better than the original.
