Miike\u2019s entry into the Bad Lieutenant series is scheduled<\/a> for a debut at TIFF (the Toronto International Film Fesitval) this week or next, and in Japan on Oct. 23. But while I and my fellow non-squeamish nerd-crossover pals anxiously await our chance to see what the man who gave us Ichi The Killer has the reigning<\/a> and occasionally-defending<\/a> Women\u2019s World champion doing (other than licking and killing<\/a>) as the Speaker of the House\u2019s wayward daughter in his new film\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2026Morgan\u2019s already been hard at work on her next movie. It\u2019s a project Liv teased on her Instagram last month.<\/p>\n

Today (Sept. 9), Deadline<\/a> gave us more information about said project, a film that is in fact titled Ping. The star of Ping appears in the pics Morgan posted, and if you saw Obsession, you probably recognized her as one of that nasty little flick*\u2019s few actors: Megan Lawless, who played Andy Richter\u2019s aspiring tattoo artist daughter in spring\u2019s sleeper blockbuster. Here\u2019s how Deadline wrote up the rest the names it was reporting for Ping:<\/p>\n

Lawless is joined in the cast by Fivel Stewart<\/a> (The Recruit), creator Savanah Moss, WWE star Liv Morgan (Bad Lieutenant: Tokyo) and Carter Jenkins (After).<\/p>\n

The logline for writer\/director Richie Gordon\u2019s feature debut is \u201can aspiring creative director lands a remote dream job, but is forced to choose between her sanity and a boss she can never mute.\u201d Ping will also be debuting at TIFF, so Liv is likely spending a few days in Toronto this month. Gordon\u2019s film is hoping to be picked up by a distributor at the festival, and he made his pitch to Deadline:<\/p>\n

\u201cPing examines the promises of modern work that can push us to work harder and longer, sometimes at the expense of ourselves \u2013 it asks those of us living through burnout culture: what is enough? I was blown away by how deeply that resonated with Megan and the rest of the cast, and am incredibly fortunate to have some of the best crew in the business to bring it to life. I\u2019m in awe of the talent behind this film and I can\u2019t wait for the world to see it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Certainly sounds timely, and I continue to be even more excited about Morgan\u2019s prospects in Hollywood than anyone else currently on the WWE roster\u2026 and maybe even more than her in-ring future.<\/p>\n

Let us know where you are with either or both of Liv Morgan\u2019s careers in the comments below.<\/p>\n
