Las Vegas, NV -- July 31, 2024 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire --
Lingerie Fighting Championships, Inc. (“LFC”) (OTC
Pink:BOTY) announced today their first feature film,
Gladiatrix: Cresent Moon will begin shooting September 17 in
Edmonton, Alberta Canada. The film is being co-produced by LFC
Films, Mind Engine Entertainment and Factory Film Studio and will
feature several of LFC’s most popular fighters in supporting
roles.
“This is a project we’ve been working on for several years now,”
CEO Shaun Donnelly says, “so it is extremely gratifying to see it
finally coming to fruition.”
Gladiatrix is based on the novel The Crescent by Las Vegas
author Cynthia Vespia. It tells the story of two women, one a slave
and the other a queen, who become unexpected allies in the
Gladiator’s arena. The novel was adapted for the screen by Donnelly
himself.
“I had the good fortune to meet Cynthia several years ago and
became a fan of her work,” Donnelly says. “I loved that so many of
her characters are strong women and that’s exactly the type of
stories I wanted to tell through LFC Films.”
Vespia introduced Donnelly to her Godfather, a film producer
named Greg Munsell, who, as it turned out, was also a fan of
Lingerie Fighting Championships. Munsell had made a death-bed
promise to Vespia’s father before he passed that somehow, some way,
he’d help turn her first novel into a film. Donnelly and Munsell
soon teamed up to fulfill this promise.
“I was so moved by their story and what it meant to everyone
that it quickly became an obsession for me as well,” Donnelly says.
“We came very close to making the movie in 2020 – we were actually
holding auditions that March when Covid shut everything down.”
Raising the money for a movie set in the 3rd Century
AD featuring dozens of female gladiators fighting in an arena was
no small task and only came about when Donnelly’s long time film
distributor, Factory Film Studio, joined the project. Factory’s
Chief Creative Officer, Michael Patrick Lilly, was looking for a
project they could shoot at their new 10 acre lot (which features a
55,000 sq ft studio) and felt Gladiatrix would be a perfect fit.
Construction crews are currently hard at work building all the sets
needed for the film including an immense gladiator’s arena.
Of her motivation to write the novel, Vespia says, “I was
looking for an idea for my first novel when I came across an
article that they had found remains in Rome proving for the first
time that women also fought as gladiators. I found the idea so
compelling I knew I had to write about it.”
“Naturally with LFC Films involved we were always going to cast
some of our fighters,” Donnelly says. “They really are modern day
gladiators.”
