Another approach to presenting women bodybuilders is to not always make them 2D caricatures. Muscular people have usually been depicted as simple-minded, just as other types of people are put into cliches. Having stories that capitalize on their physique is just one approach when they could express other facets like anybody else.

Not to rain on the parade, but I serious doubt there's be a response on the magnitude of the Blair Witch Project. The lost video concept was a novelty at the time, but now has become a worn-out sci-fi cliché. A FBBr / femuscular character(s) story would be aimed at a niche, but not insignificant, audience that would make it a profitable venture. A better analogy would be on the lines of "Interstate 60: Tales of the Road" (2002), or "Atlas Shrugged - Part 1" (2011), both of which were made outside of the hegemony of Hollywood, had good production quality and w/ a number of familiar faces in various roles.
Agree with Holiday and stevexyz. It would have to be an independent and self funded film. And if so, you'd have to hit a home run, something on the order of Blair Witch Project.
