Bad Boys and Midnight Run scribe George Gallo is set to direct his ninth feature Bigger about bodybuilding pioneer brothers Joe and Ben Weider, who against all odds, battled poverty and anti-Semitism to create the fitness industry as we know it. Tyler Hoechlin from Richard Linklater’s Everybody Wants Some, MTV’s Teen Wolf and MGM’s upcoming The Domestics will play Joe Weider, who discovered Arnold Schwarzenegger and founded the International Federation of Bodybuilding which operates today in 55 countries.

Thanks Ron! That will be a great watch.

Anti-Semitism in Quebec? ::) It's hilarious to me even hearing this - Jews face discrimination, yet accusing everyone else of bigotry is not a form of discrimination, right? ::)
If they don't like it, no one is forcing them to live in gentile-societies.
Anyway, I will be watching the rest of "Trapped in Paradise" today. Funnily enough, I'm fairly sure George Gallo directed it too. Sounds Italian.

Very cool....

A pin-up model who became a leading role model for women in diet and fitness, Betty Weider was the wife of Joe Weider, and together they co founded Shape magazine, which remains the most successful women’s health and fitness publication today. Bigger tells the story of the Weider brothers, who rose from poverty to create the Mr. Olympia competition, forever changing the face of professional bodybuilding.
Hough joins Tyler Hoechlin (Everybody Wants Some!!), Aneurin Barnard (Dunkirk) and Kevin Durand (The Strain). Gallo is helming from a script he wrote with Andy Weiss, from an original script written by Brad & Ellen Furman. Shooting starts next month.

Ron,
Are you saying Julianne is a better Weider than Betty ever was?

She's no Betty :-\

She's a dog compared to Betty. Betty was a dime.

I believe that George Gallo directed "Trapped in Paradise", a 1994 movie about bank robbers how had a change of heart after ending up in the home of the family that owned the bank. Cool movie. I remember watching it when I was 13, then recently watched it again. Whatever happened to Jon Lovitz?

Wasn't the story that he was hitting that and his first wife caught them in the act?
He married Hedwiges "Vicky" Uzar; together they had one child, Lydia Ross (mother to Weider's three grandchildren), and subsequently divorced in 1960.[2] During his marriage to Vicky Uzar he had met Betty Brosmer, who was then the highest paid pin-up girl in the U.S.[3] In 1961 Joe and Betty married, and she began working alongside him as Betty Weider. Betty and Joe together authored books on bodybuilding.[4] Joe, Betty and Ben together were the co-founders of the International Federation of BodyBuilders.[5]

Maybe with some boob GCI it gets interesting.
-
She "better" be good.
Total travesty.
-
All she has to do is observe and emulate the wives of Hollywood actors since she's playing a beard
-
Will they show the pre Olympia kleenex judging the weiders used to do back in the day?

They could have picked worse people playing Sergio and Arnold though.
Like Lil Wayne and Woody Allen.

Just saw this article about Julianne Hough who will be playing Betty Weider in an upcoming movie called Bigger. Definitely not a good comparison to Betty. Hough doesn't have the waist and hips to match Betty. (See https://www.msn.com/en-us/movies/celebrity/julianne-hough-stuns-in-retro-swimsuit-on-set-of-bigger-see-the-pics/ar-BBEYdCS?li=BBnb2gh&ocid=mailsignout (https://www.msn.com/en-us/movies/celebrity/julianne-hough-stuns-in-retro-swimsuit-on-set-of-bigger-see-the-pics/ar-BBEYdCS?li=BBnb2gh&ocid=mailsignout))
Calum Von Moger is portraying Arnold. (See http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3226786/ (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3226786/)) Big guy. Wonder if they will smooth him out for the film to make him match the less cut physiques of the 70s.

Oh dear... I fear President Lincoln may be about to make an appearance.... ;)

All due respect, Julianne would need to gain a few lbs. in all the right places to do justice to Betty Weider. Yowzah!!!

Julianne Hough Stuns in Retro Bikini On Set Of 'Bigger' -- See the Pics

The actor playing the role of Joe certainly looks a lot like Joe.
I guess that Brad Pitt will be playing the part of Ben!
Best pick possible for Arnold and Sergio though.
And Bertty also.
Who's playing Draper?
Who's playing Dan Lurie?
-
Artie Lange as Franco ???
(http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=635920.0;attach=748007;image)
-
Here's BEN ...
-
Just like the famous cover :D
-
Could this be Franco?
-
Could this be Franco?
Yes. They're strictly auditioning male models for Dan Lurie, though.
-
She'll do but she's nowhere the beauty that is Betty.
I wonder if Joe's nasal tone will be allowed or will they give him a more masculine voice. Ben was the silent pillow-biter partner. The headpiece of the IFBB. I doubt that Betty and Joe ever consummated their wedding. She was just too much a woman for him. Was that too cruel or too near the truth?
I'm thinking this is a made for TV flick?
-
This actor as Jack Lalanne ....
-
The real deal - Dan Lurie
-
Any GOOD movie on the Weider's will explore the homosexual elements (including the gay porn mags he started out with).

Betty really was a beautiful woman..

The real deal - Dan Lurie
Yup. "Sealtest" Dan.

NICE SET OF BROSMERS...
-
Dang, seems like she was hotter than Monroe.
Joe - master of beards in more way than one.
-
NICE SET OF BROSMERS...
STILL NUTZ THE BROSMERS (of Peace)

Older bodybuilder I knew in LA told me that back in the day, husband Joe would test the bodybuilders by having them sleep with the wife. He said the perv would watch the sex. Not sure if this is true or not.
But living in LA, I have seen this sex-for-hire attitude many times.

Nice cameltoe :D

Betty did a lot of waist training with a corset. She could be wearing one in that pic.
