EXCLUSIVE: Robert Morgan’s Talaria Media has launched development on Arigato Tokyo, a new drama set in the world of women’s professional wrestling, after acquiring a feature pitch by Daytime Emmy winner Mark Blutman (Ghostwriter, Boy Meets World). Jamie Anderson is on board to direct the pic, with Morgan to exec produce.
The film will tell the story of Annie Able, an aging pro wrestler, who despite battles with addiction and mental health, returns to the land of the Rising Sun, to reignite her feud with local Japanese legend Hoshi Tokao, whose series of epic and often bloody matches in the late ’90s made them rich and famous.
During the build-up of their big match at the landmark Tokyo Dome, Annie falls for the son of Hoshi, a young man half her age, and while the unlikely relationship angers Hoshi, the meaningful bond they form is unbreakable.
Blutman is repped by Wonder Street and Fox Rothschild; Anderson by Goodman, Genow, Schenkman. EXCLUSIVE: Gravitas Ventures has acquired North American rights to the documentary All These Sons, marking the sophomore feature of Oscar- and Emmy-nominated director Bing Liu (Minding the Gap), which he directed with award-winning editor Joshua Altman.
