Dwayne Johnson and Dany Garcia’s Seven Bucks Productions has partnered with 101 Studios, A Really Good Home Pictures, Coonskin Cap Productions and Gary Lewis to produce Unstoppable, the inspiring true-life story of sports hero Anthony Robles. 

The one-of-a-kind drama follows Robles who, despite being born with only one leg to a single-parent family on the wrong side of the tracks, overcame every obstacle to become an undefeated collegiate wrestling star, three-time All-American, 2011 NCAA National Champion, two-time ESPY Award winner and a National Wrestling Hall of Fame inductee.

“Words cannot express how honored I am to have my story made into a film,” Anthony Robles said. “Because I was born missing my leg, my entire life I’ve had to deal with people having low expectations of me. When I got into wrestling, most people thought it was impossible for me to become even an average wrestler. I’m hopeful that people who see Unstoppable will walk away believing that you should never let your challenges define you. If you have a goal, go after it with everything you’ve got. Nothing is impossible.”

 “Our entire Seven Bucks team is passionate about sharing stories that inspire and resonate on a global scale. We’ve had an eye on Anthony’s story for a long time and have been deeply moved by his perseverance that proves nothing is impossible. The powerful themes of redemption and tackling life’s obstacles are very familiar to us, we are excited to bring this triumphant underdog story to life,” said Dwayne Johnson and Dany Garcia, co-founders of Seven Bucks Productions.

“Anthony’s story is really special and reveals the passion, determination and fearlessness needed to overcome challenges,” said Hiram Garcia, President of Production at Seven Bucks Productions. “Investing in the right stories with universal appeal is a huge priority for us at Seven Bucks, but more importantly, we want to share stories like Anthony’s that motivate the world.”

“Unstoppable is a film that 101 Studios is so proud to be a part of,” said 101 Studios CEO David Glasser. “We were moved and inspired by Anthony’s triumphs on the mat, but—even more so—his triumphs of spirit and determination in his personal life. Unstoppable embodies the types of films that we want to bring to the screen: films that resonate universally because of their power to connect with audiences.”Unstoppable will be produced by Dwayne Johnson, Dany Garcia and Hiram Garcia for Seven Bucks Productions, Andy Fraser for A Really Good Home Pictures, David Crockett for Coonskin Cap Productions, and Gary Lewis. The film will be executive produced by Bob Yari.

Written by John Hindman, the script for the new film is based on Robles’ moving memoir (written with Austin Murphy), Unstoppable: From Underdog to Undefeated: How I Became a Champion, published in 2012 by Penguin imprint Gotham Books.

“We’re thrilled to have 101 Studios and Seven Bucks as partners in bringing Anthony’s remarkable story to the big screen,” Fraser said. “Working with such a great team, we couldn’t be more excited to realize the promise of John Hindman’s script and to hopefully inspire audiences for many years to come.”

Crockett, Fraser and UTA’s Rena Ronson sold the project to 101 Studios with help from Nicole Compas with Ramo Law. Brokering the deal were David Glasser and James Allen, represented by Leif Cervantes de Reinstein of Sheppard Mullin.

The cast for Unstoppable has yet to be announced.

When do you think of when you hear the word Baywatch?

Babes in skimpy bathing suits, shirtless muscly men and you can’t forget that slow motion running!

Well I have great news, you get all of the above and more. Based off the action drama series from 1989 that has since become an icon.

Set in Emerald Bay, Florida we see Mitch (Dwayne Johnson) leading his team of lifeguards as they keep the Bay safe. When it is that time to get new recruits they come across the reckless, self absorbed Matt Brody (Zac Efron), at which they are told he must be on their team.

This causes a bit of friction between these lads as they try to prove who is better, stronger and smarter but really they equally have the biggest egos.

Nothing is ever just getting a tan on the beach in this Bay, especially not when Victoria Leeds (Priyanka Chopra) is around. The team makes it their business and gets hilariously caught up in her scandal as no one else does a thing about it, they go undercover to try and bring her down before it is too late.

While this might not be everyone’s cup of tea, you have to accept it for what it is, which is a bit of silly fun. They don’t take themselves seriously so neither should you.

This first movie hits everything you could possibly expect from what we all know Baywatch to be, maybe with a bit more focus on the muscles along with some crude jokes. Not to mention a couple of cameo appearances from some familiar faces.

Baywatch is definitely one that is more for the girls in the mood for something stupidly funny!
