Georges St-Pierre biopic officially announced
A biopic movie for mixed martial arts legend Georges St-Pierre has been announced.
The current plan is for the project to be guided by Thomas Soto, with the aim being to strip away the myth of “GSP the global icon” and “reveal Georges, the man”. As we know, GSP is an absolute icon in and out of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, best known for being a two-division world champion in the UFC.
Of course, as a fighter, Georges St-Pierre had to overcome adversity throughout the course of his career, but in addition to what he was able to do in the cage, he was also a beloved figure outside of it. He was the true definition of a martial artist and was able to earn the respect of the masses time and time again.
As reported by Variety, Georges St-Pierre and Thomas Soto had the following to say on the deal.

“We have been considering telling my story for a moment now, and when we found this team it was clear to us that we wanted this to be told in a new creative way,” St-Pierre said in a statement.
“I want to tell the story of Georges behind GSP in a way that feels intimate, honest and deeply human,” Soto said in a statement. “To me, bringing that story to the world is both a privilege and a responsibility.”

Regardless of whether or not you would put someone like St-Pierre in the greatest of all time conversation, there is no way of denying the impact he has had on the sport – especially for the people of Quebec who, to this day, still worship him like a god. Hopefully, this does justice to the man who got so many into the sport of MMA.
