Natalya comments on a recent Fightful Select report.
On January 24, 2024, Fightful Select reported that Natalya had been in discussions with a production company regarding the potential of a movie about the Hart Family. The report also noted that some casting ideas has been discussed for the film.
Fightful caught up with Natalya for a recent interview during the talent media scrum that took place during Royal Rumble weekend. In the interview, we asked Natalya about the movie report.
"I can’t confirm and I can’t deny, but there is something I’ve been working on that is really close to my heart. I’ve been working on it for a little while now and I feel like we’re in such a boom right now with the industry and with wrestling. My family, there are so many incredible stories that have never been told that are so great. For me, to be able to celebrate my family and celebrate everything we’ve built, there are so many positive things. Yes, I’m working on something close to my heart. Rory Caulkin is a huge wrestling fan. Rory and his brothers were sitting front row for SummerSlam when I won the Women’s Championship at the Barclays Center. I love when we meet people for other walks of life that love this industry."
When Fightful brought up the idea that the story of the Hart family could possibly be a series, Natalya said that it could spin off into many different things.
"Our family has such a wide range of stories. It could spin off into so many different things. I watched ’The Iron Claw, I loved the movie, that night, I sent Bret a text, ‘I had no...the family was so mean. You have to see this movie. It was so captivating.’ My dad was Kerry’s last match. Bret said the Von Erichs actually got in professional wrestling through my grandfather. My grandfather met Fritz Von Erich in Edmonton, he was trying out, I believe for the Edmonton Eskimos, my grandfather Stu met him and said, ‘You should get into wrestling.’ The rest is history. The Von Erich family ended up living at the Hart house. They lived at the Hart house for a few months and that’s how they got their start in wrestling. Just to think that my family has touched so many different people’s lives. Gorilla Monsoon trained in the Dungeon. Those are things people don’t know. There are so many cool aspects. Very cool time."
Fightful will continue to update fans on the possibility of a Hart family movie/television series.
