Zack Snyder, the famous movie director, might be revisiting the world of sports. And this time, it’s not for a superhero flick! There’s talk that he might be teaming up with Turki Alalshikh, a big shot in the boxing game, for a UFC-based movie. That’s right, we’re talking about the Ultimate Fighting Championships!
Zack Snyder’s Upcoming Project
In case you didn’t know, Snyder is famous for creating visual spectacles in his films. However, he’s recently shown excitement about a project that’s a bit different from his usual style. That project is a UFC movie!
Turki Alalshikh, who’s made a name for himself in the world of boxing, is keen on joining forces with Snyder for this new film. Although some of Snyder’s last films have had mixed reviews, the buzz around this potential UFC movie proves that he’s still got it.
Getting to Know Turki Alalshikh
Alalshikh isn’t just famous for his boxing ventures. He’s also been a financial backbone for boxing in Saudi Arabia. Recently, he shared his dream of making a UFC film with Snyder. He asked about progress on the film during an interview, and Snyder’s response was positively electric.
Zack Snyder seemed taken with the idea, saying it’s a great place to start. But, he also mentioned another small-scale film he’s working on. While it might not be the UFC movie, it shows that Snyder is keen on exploring new types of projects.
What’s Happening in the UFC World?
Recently, Saudi Arabia hosted its first-ever UFC fight card. Post-event, Alalshikh and UFC CEO Dana White revealed on a live show that they plan to bring UFC back to Saudi Arabia in 2025. During this announcement, Alalshikh expressed his desire for Snyder to direct a UFC movie styled like The Cinderella Man. Dana White seemed to give this idea a thumbs-up, which is good news for Snyder!
Alalshikh’s vision for the boxing world is a fresh one. Instead of sticking to old-school methods, he wants to change things up. This viewpoint seems to fit perfectly with Snyder’s unique creative style, making a potential partnership between the two pretty exciting.
Snyder’s Other Plans
Apart from the UFC movie talks, Snyder is currently working on a two-part project with Netflix. He’s also said he would like to do a small movie next, without any special effects. This film would be filmed on location and be a more manageable size. He’s also interested in working on a few fresh ideas for a new film, shot at an interesting location.
He’s also hinted that he’s working on the 300 TV series, signaling possibly working with Warner Bros. again, despite their previous disputes.
Where does this leave us?
While it’s still unclear whether Snyder will definitely direct a UFC film, he’s certainly interested in the idea. If this partnership happens, we can expect to see an interesting fusion of cinema and UFC. So, all we can do now is keep an eye on the updates and hope for the best. Hopefully, this exciting project will be an excellent addition to Snyder’s already impressive film career!
