Chris Bell told me via email yesterday that his film was sold to a theatrical distribution company with a public announcement coming on Friday. Today, Variety broke the story early by announcing that Magnolia Pictures (co-founded by Dallas Mavericks onwer Mark Cuban) has purchased the worldwide distribution rights to Christopher Bell’s “Bigger Stornger Faster*”, a steroid documentary that critical examines steroid use in society while the filmmaker looks at steroid use by his brothers.

Magnolia plans to release muscle docu later this year theatrically to be followed by play on HDNet. Magnolia and HDNet are part of Todd Wagner and Mark Cuban’s Wagner/Cuban Companies, which also include Landmark Theaters chain and 2929 Productions.

Magnolia Pictures was co-founded by Dallas Mavericks onwer Mark Cuban.  Mark Cuban is a big fan of the film.

 “I love this movie!” said Mark Cuban, owner of Magnolia, Landmark Theaters, HDNET, and the Dallas Mavericks, “It’s informative, fascinating and hysterical - all the things a movie about steroids should be. You can’t miss this one if you are a sports fan.”

Congratulations, Chris!
