Ronnie Coleman is one of the most legendary athletes in the history of bodybuilding - holding the world record for most Mr. Olympia titles of all time with 8 wins. Now for the first time ever the world will see the true life story of the biggest bodybuilder of our time.
We are proud to announce that the Generation Iron Fitness Network will be working with the producers of 'Generation Iron' on a feature length documentary focused on the life and accomplishments of 8x Mr. Olympia winner Ronnie Coleman.
Known as "The King" of bodybuilding, Ronnie Coleman is a true icon in the sport of bodybuilding comparable to the likes of Arnold Schwarzenegger. He is known as one of the heaviest bodybuilders ever to compete in the IFBB and is also known for his aggressive heavy lifting in his training regimen. Since retirement, Ronnie Coleman has suffered a total of 6 major injuries to his spine and hips requiring rehabilitating surgery. He is now on a journey back to 100% recovery so that he can train at peak levels once again.
Directed by Vlad Yudin, The new documentary will focus on Ronnie Coleman's recent efforts to recover after his latest spinal surgery so that he can once again train with heavy weights at maximum capacity. The film will also take a deep look into his past career and accomplishments - giving a never before seen look at one of the biggest (literally and figuratively) athletes in the bodybuilding industry.
Produced in joint with The Vladar Company, the film is currently in production with a scheduled release date in Q1 of 2018. Vlad Yudin and Edwin Mejia will serve as Producers on the project.
The Vladar Company's previous releases include Generation Iron, which grossed over 1M at the U.S. box office to become one of the top 10 grossing docs of 2013. They have also produced the recent sequel Generation Iron 2 and MMA documentary The Hurt Business with Ronda Rousey, Jon Jones and Georges St.Pierre.
