Ronda Rousey and Tina Fey are stepping into the ring together. The pair are heading up Do Nothing Bitches, a comedy Universal bought Friday from Sisters writer Paula Pell.
The news comes on the heels of Sisters, the Fey and Amy Poehler comedy that’s raked in over $85 million worldwide in about a month in theaters. It’s the second time Fey and Pell have linked up for a movie.
Rousey continues her recent trend of landing on screen. The UFC fighter keeps picking up movie gigs after turns in The Expendables 3, Furious 7, and Entourage. Rousey was tapped to lead a Road House remake in September, playing a character similar to Patrick Swayze’s in the original film. My Fight/Your Fight, a Rousey biopic, is currently being developed by Paramount. She will also make her Saturday Night Live hosting debut Jan. 23.
Fey is keeping busy. She’s working on season 2 of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt on Netflix can next be seen in theaters with Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot on March 4.
Plot details are unknown, but the title comes from a viral video of Rousey from last summer. (NSFW language below.)
Fey will produce the movie with her production company Little Stranger Productions. Pell will also produce, while Little Stranger’s Eric Gurian will executive produce.
