Blake Lively to Star in Bruised, an MMA Film

Blake Lively has her next role lined up and it is in an MMA action-drama titled “Bruised.” This one should really be a good one to see with Lively in a role we’ve never really seen her before, as a retired MMA fighter who has to get back in the ring. This one is much different than her last movie, “The Shallows,” where she was a daughter fighting for her life against a Great White shark.

This movie will be directed by Nick Cassavetes who is likely most know for his work directing The Notebook. Michelle Rosenfarb has written the script for this one. Producers for “Bruised” include Linda Gottlieb, Guymon Casady and Basil Iwanyk.

The expected release date has not yet been released, but they do expect to start shooting in September of this year.
