While representatives with the Baton Rouge Film Commission say they are not authorized to say much more about the project, the entertainment industry media has reported some of the details.

Deadline gives this synopsis of the film:

Based on the true story of the Von Erichs, the film follows the rise and fall of the Von Erich family, a dynasty of wrestlers who made a huge impact on the sport from the 1960s to the present day.

The drama will be directed by Sean Durkin, who has also done the writing for the movie. Well-known independent studio A24 will finance the production.

A release for the movie has not been announced.
