Co-written and directed by George Gallo, the movie Bigger follows Joe and Ben Weider. They were brothers who originated the muscle. The bodybuilding contests launched several careers. Not only did they discover Arnold Schwarzenegger, but they inspired female empowerment. They promoted championing diversity and started a fitness movement that literally changed how the world viewed men.
If you think about it, how did bodybuilding and muscle start and become so popular? We all know Schwarzenegger led the way in building more enormous muscle mass. But who was the impetus behind the craze? This movie is supposed to answer that question.
The ensemble cast includes Tyler Hoechlin, Aneurin Barnard, Julianne Hough, Victoria Justice, Colton Haynes, Max Martini, Tom Arnold, Steve Guttenberg, Calum Von Moger, DJ Qualls, with Kevin Durand, and Robert Forster.
Gallo wrote the screenplay with Andy Weiss, Ellen, and Brad Furman. Gallo is known more for his screenwriting credits for movies like Midnight Run and Bad Boys.
