Comedy queen Tina Fey and MMA fighter/sometimes-actress Ronda Rousey are teaming up for a new "female-empowerment" film that sounds like it just might rival the kind of girl power first made famous by the 1998 cinematic masterpiece that was Spice World.
Variety (opens in new tab) reports that the Fey-Rousey collab is titled Do Nothing Bitches—inspired by a now-viral speech (opens in new tab) Rousey gave last year, where she said her mother raised her not to be a "do-nothing bitch."
"Just because my body was developed for a purpose other than fucking millionaires doesn't mean it's masculine," she explained in a UFC interview (opens in new tab). "I think it's femininely badass as fuck, because there's not a single muscle on my body that isn't for a purpose. Because I'm not a do-nothing bitch."
According to Deadline (opens in new tab), the script—written by longtime Fey friend, Paula Pell—tells the tale of "wealthy pampered wives who get a rude awakening at a camp where Rousey plays the no-nonsense instructor." While Fey's role in the movie is still unknown, one thing is certain: Her co-star's first step into the comedy ring is sure to pack a punch.
