The report says the studio is in a negotiations war for the highly sought Pandemonium, which has Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, who direct and executive produce NBC’s hit drama This Is Us, in talks to helm the project. Craig A. Williams wrote the script, and Andrew Lazar, who produced American Sniper, is producing the project along with Michael Luisi, president of WWE Studios, and Adam Goldworm of Aperture Entertainment. Charlie Gogolak of Zaftig Films will executive produce.

When Lazar secured McMahon’s life rights, the package in recent weeks made the rounds again and studios were ready to rumble. Multiple parties were interested but sources say that TriStar went all out in their pitch (even decorating their offices with WWE regalia). Hannah Minghella and Nicole Brown will oversee for TriStar.
McMahon, known for his iconic showmanship, created the national sensation and obsession that is known as the World Wrestling Entertainment, aka WWE.

Multiple parties were interested but sources say that TriStar went all out in their pitch (even decorating their offices with WWE regalia). Hannah Minghella and Nicole Brown will oversee for TriStar.
