A Glimpse into The Killer's Game
Spotting Sway in Hollywood: The Alethea Bodysuit's Surprise Cameo in "The Killer's Game"
What happens when action-packed Hollywood meets stylish polewear? In J.J. Perry’s latest film, The Killer’s Game (starring Dave Bautista and Sofia Boutella), the Alethea bodysuit from Sway—your favourite polewear brand—makes an unexpected appearance. Initially selected for a pole dance scene featuring Lucy Cork and Shaina West, the bodysuit's glowing fabric wasn’t ideal for the lighting. However, the costume designer loved its sleek, stage-ready design and repurposed it as a decorative element in the dance studio — where the film’s lead characters meet, marking the begining of their romantic relationship.

The Alethea Bodysuit: A Polewear Icon in Film
It was exciting for me to see The Sway bodysuit in a real Hollywood movie! While it's role may not have been central to the plot, by all means, its presence adds a touch of flair to the scene and shows how polewear can be percieved as stage costume if you take it out of the context of out pole dance bubble.
Sway’s Glow Collection: More Than Just Polewear
Sway’s Glow Collection, known for its luminous and stage-ready aesthetics, is proof that pole dance fashion is evolving beyond the studio.

I hope the Alethea bodysuit's story is just the beginning of a larger trend, where polewear brands like Sway gain recognition beyond the pole.

Directed by J.J. Perry, The Killer’s Game follows veteran assassin Joe Flood (Dave Bautista), whose misdiagnosed illness leads to an unexpected chain of action-packed and comedic events. The film also stars Sofia Boutella, Terry Crews, and Ben Kingsley. I personally had so much fun watching it (not only because of the Sway cameo) but for its humor, plot twists, beautiful scenography and of course the romance! And I mean - the opening scenes in the Theatre were unforgetable.

This reflects a broader cultural shift—pole dance is no longer just a niche fitness trend but a celebrated form of performance art appearing in films, concerts, and theatrical productions.
