In this blog I will be talking about more of the history and production of the movie “Fighting with My Family”. I will also be talking about the budget for the film and how other money was spent.
The events and characters are based on real events and characters’ real lives. Saraya-Jade Bevis who the movie is based on had parent who were former wrestlers like in the movie. She was born to Patrick Bevis and Julia Hamer-Bevis. They teamed up together in the 1990’s and won the British Open Championship four times. Her parents, like in the movie, also owned a wrestling club called the World Association of Wrestling where Saraya- Jade Bevis (Paige)started her wrestling career in 2005. The filming company did however add some character who did not exist in Paige’s real life at the time or not at all. In other words, they added fictional characters not based off of real people to the movie and real people that were not actually in Paige’s life at that time. An example if that is the Rock. The Rock did not meet Paige until Paige was signed by the WWE. This allowed for Rock to later tell Paige that she was going to premiere in the WWE that night and if she won over the crowd, she would become a part of the WWE. This means that the filming company film inserted a fictional event into pages life.
The movie itself was filmed in many different places. It was filmed in different places in England. It was also filmed in California and Florida. The budget for this movie was 11 million dollars. The MGM which is also is a production company involved in the production of “Fighting with My Family” spent 17.5 million to gain distribution rights. In other words, the right to sell the movie. Filming for the movie began on the 15th of February 2017.
