Recently, we reported that Calum Von Moger would star as Arnold Schwarzenegger  in the new Weider biopic, entitled Bigger. 

According to imdb.com, the rest of the players have now also been cast. In addition to bodybuilders like Calum and Sergio Oliva Jr (who has the obvious role of 'Sergio Oliva'), director George Gallo has cost Hollywood notables like Julianne Hough and DJ Qualls. Check out the list below!

According to the site, "The inspirational tale of the grandfathers of the fitness movement as we now know it, Joe & Ben Weider. Battling anti-Semitism/racism as well as extreme poverty the brothers beat all odds to build an empire & inspire future generations." It's not known yet when the movie will be in theatres, as filming has just begun in the last few weeks. The focus is to finish the six-week shoot on time. The company will be in post-production over the holidays, and they should have some timeline announcements in the first quarter of 2018 - which is when the movie is slated to come out. The movie, "Bigger," is co-written and directed by George Gallo, the film industry website Deadline Hollywood reported Thursday. Gallo previously wrote the screenplay for the Robert De Niro-Charles Grodin action-comedy "Midnight Run" and wrote and directed the internet crime saga "Middle Men," with Luke Wilson and James Caan.
