Georges St-Pierre, one of the most dominant champions in UFC history, is getting the big screen treatment. A movie about the mixed martial arts icon is officially in development, with Quebec director Thomas Soto attached to helm the project.

"We have been considering telling my story for a moment now, and when we found this team it was clear to us that we wanted this to be told in a new creative way," St-Pierre said in a statement.

The biopic will trace St-Pierre's journey from Saint-Isidore, Quebec, to Octagon history, becoming a two-division champion at the UFC. The filmmakers say they want to strip away the myth of "GSP the global icon" to "reveal Georges, the man."

The project is led by executive producers Brandon St-Jacques and Jean-Christophe Pelchat, alongside producers Bruno Rosato and Vito Balenzano. Casting will be announced at a later point.

Soto has earned a Rising Star Award nomination from the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television. Working as a writer, director and director of photography, Soto's credits include his short film "Hold the Lighthouse", the final season of the CBC television series "Six Degrees", and the series "Still I Rise" on
Crave.

"I want to tell the story of Georges behind GSP in a way that feels intimate, honest and deeply human," Soto said in a statememnt. "To me, bringing that story to the world is both a privilege and a responsibility."

St-Pierre is widely regarded as one of the greatest mixed martial artists of all time. He is both a welterweight and middleweight champion, who retired with a professional record of 26-2 and has since appeared in films including "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" and "Kickboxer: Vengeance." Beyond fighting, St-Pierre is a businessman, philanthropist, and cultural ambassador for Quebec and Canada.

St-Pierre is represented by Benji Bar David at CAA.
