Female muscle in the movies?

Sofia Boutella in Zack Snyder's latest movie, Rebel Moon.

I don't know much about a24. I have not watched a lot of movies recently. because most movies in the theater these days are not creative. just a mass of remakes and sequels and super hero stuff. but the movies a24 makes seem unique. I think I have stopped checking for good new movies. but I noticed a rise of movies about female bodybuilding itself and it's interesting. but to be honest I prefer action movies with strong women. or maybe there should be crime thrillers and film noir with fbb characters. it seems like that genere is not very popular anymore.

> There’s a new movie by A24 called “Love Lies Bleeding” which has a main character that’s a female bodybuilder. Here’s the trailer https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BF_J3-DmiS0

It sucks that they didn't have the balls to sign on a real FBB who's at least physique competitor size but I'll take what I can get. Katy O'Brian is still as hot as ever. If baby steps are still needed to help normalize women with notable muscle size being seen on film, or at the very least, not make it seem like such a damn taboo, I'm all for it. Honestly this film would be worth checking out just for Ed Harris's role alone.

> Aw crud. I can't stand a24 movies. May have to suck it up and go

A24 gave us Everything Everywhere All At Once so they're all good in my book. It's the leeches that act like A24 is the only studio capable of making good films that I can't stand because they've definitely got their share of duds like any other studio.

I’m excited for this!

And while I’d love to see a bigger girl too, this is a major role. They need an actress first, and a bodybuilder second.

I think the fact that a capable actress got this big and this ripped for a role is a pretty huge deal.

Maybe this will be a turning point for actresses to work out more for Superhero roles and others that require it. Probably not, but one can dream.

>Perhaps it's not so much "the taboo against real FBBs", but the need for someone who can actually, you know, ACT.

Oh yes I'm sure the studio went out of there way having countless auditions to see if they can find a competitor who can actually act. You'll never find another Jennifer Hudson though unless you try.

unless someone like Katy ends up a huge star I would doubt it. but i think a smaller movie could get away with someone like her if they did something superhero-lite, or adjacent. If they aren't worreid about brining money in so much it would be a great vehicle, and there are plenty of heroes or heroes-adjacent that would be great. She could make a decent Big Barda for example, she wouldn't have to do any heavy lifting as an actress but could get significant time.

In this new A24 movie "Love lies bleeding", apparently we're going to have muscle growth scenes??? I know nothing about this movie but, judging by the trailer, that's what it seems!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZXoErL2124&t=67s around 40 second mark. Dave Chappelle special "Sticks and Stones" on Netflix.

Literally they only pan to the audience once, and when they do, they focus in on a super buffed, muscular woman.

The beach movie reunion BACK TO THE BEACH shows male bodybuilders, but mixed in with them there's a quick glimpse of an FBB also. I don't have the excerpt or a photo, but it's in a very early scene.

The earlier one MUSCLE BEACH PARTY has a lot of MBB's like Peter Lupus, and there are also two female athlete characters. Not actual FBB's, but very "buff." One is played by an actress named Alberta Nelson, who usually played a member of the biker gang in those movies.

Gentle (2022) - Strarring Eszter Csonka

A touching movie about a female bodybuilder. But we warned, it shows the dark side of FBB. It was available free until last week. For more info refer to my post here: https://www.girlswithmuscle.com/forum/thread/...
