Mr. Universe Calum Von Moger is Set to Play Arnold Schwarzenegger in the Film BIGGER

There's an interesting new movie in development called Bigger, which tells the story of Joe and Ben Weider, who are the founders of the Mr. Olympia bodybuilding contest. As you'd imagine, Arnold Schwarzenegger will be a big part of that story since he was a part of all around the time when it first started in 1965. 

The brothers, who co-founded the International Federation of Bodybuidling, discovered Schwarzenegger and encouraged him to come to the U.S. Prior to being a blockbuster action star and Governor of California, Schwarzenegger was a seven-time Mr. Olympia-title holder. Back in 1972, the Weider brothers sold a nutritional supplement, Weider Formula No. 7, that featured a young Arnold Schwarzenegger on the label.

Director George Gallo has cast the man who will play Arnold Schwarzenegger in the movie and that man is Calum Von Moger, who is 2014's Mr. Universe champion. He will join the previously cast Tyler Hoechlin as Joe Weider; Dunkirk‘s Aneurin Barnard plays brother Ben; Kevin Durand is the brothers’ nemesis, fitness magazine publisher Bill Hauk; Julianne Hough plays Joe’s first lady of fitness wife Betty; Victoria Justice is Joe’s first wife; and Colton Haynes will play Jack LaLanne. Rounding out the cast are Tom Arnold as Roy Hawkins, the publisher who gave Joe Weider distribution on his first real magazine; Max Martini is Jerry George, the sidekick to Bill Hauk;  DJ Qualls will play Mike Steere, the journalist who co-wrote the Weider brothers’ book Brothers of Iron: Building the Weider Empire; and Steve Guttenberg will play Louis Weider, Joe’s father.

I'm actually really curious about this project and it will be interesting to see how it turns out. It will also be interesting to see another actor playing Arnold Schwarzenegger! That's gonna be weird! Do you think the guy they got to play him will do the iconic star justice?
