Yes, much better than the tired trope of a female bodybuilder being a punchline of “she has a penis” or is just generally disgusting.
I don’t expect them to have a pro level physique in this movie though, it’ll be easier on whomever they cast if it’s more of a local level bodybuilder who is bigger than the average woman but won’t require the actress to diet and train strictly for any longer than 6-8 months. Anyone expecting a Hollywood actress to get absolutely huge for a single role is living in dream land.
They could CG a physique onto the actress. But yeah, in general, actresses are expected to stay thin and pretty in order to find work. Even Jessica Biel, who liked being big, slimmed down again. That's also how we lost Reika Saiki as a bodybuilder. Male actors routinely undergo a regimen of diet, gear, and six hours a day in the gym to land action or superhero roles.
I'm actually glad there's a female bodybuilding movie coming out from Hollywood. I know it will be about lesbians but it is a positive step (to me anyways) that female bodybuilders are finally recognized by mainstream Hollywood instead of just a joke in a movie or a tv show. They have documentaries about bodybuilding but they aren't recognized by the masses in Hollywood.
And just so you guys know this movie that's coming out is by the private independent studio A24 that was nominated for their films Minari, and I believe the Green Knight. So yes this bodybuilder movie will be in good hands.

I always suspected Regis Philbin - his shows in the 80's often had fbbs and he interviewed them all the time and his reactions and demeanor just gives him away as one of us. I don't think it was a mistake that he had Kelly Ripa as one of his later co-hosts and she is renown for being fit, blonde, muscular and flexing all the time. I'm sure that his preferences played a role in her career ascension.
Alex Rodriguex 100% is - he was seen having Monica Brant and other fitness models over at his house partying and was noted for turning actresses muscular when they dated him (J-Lo, Cameron Diaz, others). Any girl he dated who wasn't famous was blonde and noticeably muscular.
Gregory Hines was married to Negrita Jayde at her physical peak.
James Cameron was married to Linda Hamilton, almost had Rachel McLish star in Aliens, and noticeably had Sigourney Weaver as one of his strong female leads in a few movies (who wasn't terribly muscular, but had the dominant woman vibe before it was generally recognized/accepted by hollywood).
I gonna miss Reika a lot because her bodybuilding muscles is what got her noticed. Not much her wrestling career. She was in an episode of Kamen Rider Saber as a muscle fairy who helped the main character defeat the bad guy.
Her transition to acting would be good for her. Hopefully she stars in movies and shows where she is a muscle villain or hero. We definitely would love to see that.
@PaulMasvidal Yes I remember going on opening night and only saw the first hour then fell asleep but I remember seeing her Bent over a tad bit and seeing her triceps I believe bulging. Glad someone else noticed and pointed it out
LOL. Damn that's an expensive ass nap. I best friend from college was always falling asleep at the movie theater, I was like get some more sleep fool I'm not gonna explain this whole damn movie to you on the way home.
I'm assuming she's slightly more muscular than the standard stick-thin actress that's typically onscreen. I haven't seen the movie yet, but I do intend to (I've heard good reviews).
people are too often conflating criticism and preferences.
Let's be frank the girls posted on this site are most likely in the fitness industry, or aiming to become part of it. They chose their body as their hobby / job.
I view criticising how they look on a posted picture the same as criticizing an actor's performance / looks in a movie.
If you chose to get into an industry that's all about looks, then don't be surprised when you are judged on your looks.
I think it is only fair to criticize people who embody all the ugly stereotypes of the industry.
So in my view it is perfectly acceptable to say that you don't like X Y about someone here. What is not acceptable is doing the same thing on their personal social media profiles, or even worse cyberstalking them in pms.
Built a NAS with a RAID setup up a few years ago for my TV and movies and while I was at it threw on my "collection" (which was strewn about on several different HD's and computers from the years and years of collecting) Supposedly I can withstand 1 HD fail and will still be about to reconstruct everything. I use Emby to stream to my phone, tablet or PC if I want.
Pro tip for anyone looking to build a NAS. External HD's are cheaper than internals but guess what's inside an external HD. Just a regular internal HD. I think it was WD drives that were the easiest to do this with. I built my NAS doing that . It was called 'Shucking' the drive. 4 8tb drives on an Unraid server.
Edina, a female bodybuilder is ready to sacrifice everything for the dream she shares with her life partner and trainer Adam: to win the Miss Olympia. The odd love she finds on her way makes her see the difference between her dreams and her true self.
Hey thanks for this. Where can people watch it? any idea? cheers

A beloved fitness influencer seemingly has it all: thousands of social media followers, endorsement deals and photo spreads in magazines. However, as she starts to share more and more online, the rising pressure from concerned sponsors and increasingly obsessive fans forces her to confront her deepest insecurities.
I see threads for single movie pop up and fade away because you can't find them later unless you know the name of the movie. This is one thread for all upcoming movie or Media attractions. Easier to find.
Post movie posters or trailers that you come across. I'll post couple of trailers here shortly.
Of course having actual muscle to go with it makes it way hotter but does anyone else just like the motion itself? For example I remember watching this movie where the main character (who pretty much had 0 muscle) did a double bicep flex and made a tough face and I just thought it was hot despite the fact that she didn't have any muscle. But then sometimes I see videos of muscular women doing things like cable curls that makes their biceps pop out the same as when they flex however it isn't as hot because they're not intentionally flexing, does anyone else feel the same way?

It’s being distributed by A24, which has a very solid track record of good movies.
I think this has a great shot of being a good movie.

I hope it will be a good movie but it's hard to get hyped up for movies these days let's hope it will be good
"Of course, typical hollywood, perpetuating the stereotype that FBBs are manly and have to be lesbians."
Because it's 2022 lol.
More female muscle in 'mainstream' movies.
Apparently 'Stewart will be playing the "protective lover" of a female bodybuilder in Love Lies Bleeding'.

What do we think? Any suggestions for the who could play the bodybuilder?

If she were to get into movies, I doubt she'd be a "muscle villain or hero" because, as she said, "she doesn’t want to be typecasted for her muscles."

When I went to see the movie, she looked great; just the right size for the character she's playing.

Anyone catch the muscles on Zoë Kravitz (Catwoman) in the beginning of the new batman movie?
She bent over to give Colin Ferrell (The Penguin) a platter of drinks and you could see her biceps bulging out.
Her muscles popped up throughout the movie, but none more so in her introduction scene at the night club.

Who have this movie and can send it to me
Love the big debbie
Jill Hennessy in "Komodo". Pretty good sci-fi monster flick too.
Full movie is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOjj0mUP5SA&t=1s

I'd be swayed if I was a woman. Irresistible. Everyone knows girls like bad guys, like in those American high school movies.
