Grappling TV game show American Gladiators is heading to the big screen, in
a new live action movie.
The show, in which members of the public take on muscle-bound gladiators in
a series of events, debuted in the U.S. in 1988 and has since appeared in
more than 90 countries.
Creator Johnny Ferraro, who claims he first conceived the idea as a movie,
is now fulfilling his ambition with the help of 300 producer Scott Mesnick.
Mesnick tells Daily Variety, "I look forward to creating a compelling story
that launches a whole new set of characters."
American Gladiators is like a game show. This would be like making a movie based on the Price is Right or Wheel of Fortune.
You have to admit that a Joker's Wild movie would be pretty choice, though.
