And, uh, thanks to Manu Seth for that translation.

Uh, it was produced by MGM Film Four, The Ink Factory, Seven Bucks, which is The, The Rock's production company, Misha Films, and WWE Studios, and was distributed worldwide by MGM.

The budget for this film was reportedly only $11 million, but distribution rights were sold at the Berlin Film Festival to MGM for 17.5 million, meaning, in what's almost certainly a first for this show, the film made a profit before it even hit the cinemas.

Shit.

In the intervening years between the documentary and the film, she made her earlier than planned debut, won a load of titles, and then retired due to injury.

But Johnson wanted to keep the story finishing pretty much where the documentary does.

He took the idea to the people who do all the work at Seven Bucks, his production company, [laughs] uh, but with the express instructions that this wasn't to be the sort of big action blockbuster that he'd been making for the previous few years.

This was a movie to have more indie sensibilities, and he knew he wanted to enter it for festivals.
