Chris Benoit Biopic

[bullets]

Al Pacino would be great as Vince McMahon. They could do a scene where Trish Stratus walks into his office and he re enacts the "that's a great ass" line . That's a perfect characterization of Vince.

Damn it, this has inspired me to recast the Attitude Era with celebrities for the Recast Thread. lol

 

[Dr. Evil]

How exactly is this film going to work without the use of WWE trademarks?

 

[Pink Ranger]

They should totally do a Mick Foley pic based of the books he wrote. They were very entertaining and they could appeal to wrestling fans and non fans alike. Also Jack Black would be my choice if they did do a movie about Mick.

It's the only wrestling role where the actor would have the work out less to look like the part.

 

[Thundarr]

O Wow I didn't know that. So moves like the Pile driver, DDT, Clothesline, Neck Breaker, and Angle Lock can all be dangerous if not performed correctly? Well I do know that the Pile driver is extremely dangerous because Stone Cold got his neck broken by Owen Hart who used the pile driver on him.

I didn't say that all moves were dangerous if performed incorrectly. I said that some moves, specifically certain submission holds, were just for show and couldn't actually do any real damage. If you're going to reply with sarcasm, you should at least understand what was written in the post you're replying to.

I love that idea.

LOL, so true.

It won't. It's going to be in production hell forever.

 

[RKO]

Yeah, this film will never work if they don't change everybody's name and leave WWE out of it. Same story different characters.

It would be perfect!

No no I wasn't being sarcastic at all. I was just asking if the moves could cause a lot of damge if done incorrectly. You posted that you use to be a pro wrestler so I was just curious. I didn't mean for it to sound like I was being sarcastic or a *****ebag.

I've always felt the Walls of Jericho would be very therepeutic, in fact. It looks like it would help stretch out the other wrestler's back strain, similar to a yoga thing I do.

 

[PSYLENTGuardian]

I like the Jack Black as Mick Foley idea.

 

[dude stannis]

So here's my cast then;

Chris Benoit - Tom Hardy
Vince McMahon - Harrison Ford
Chris Jericho - Stephen Dorff
Eddie Guerrero - Eduardo Noriega
Chavo Guerrero - Bryan Callen
Nancy Sullivan - Rhona Mitra
Dean Malenko - Brian Bloom
Bret Hart - Tommy Wiseau Christian Bale
Stu Hart - Clint Eastwood

What about you guys? Keep it to the guys who where a major part of Benoit's life though.

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

Dean Norris for Stone Cold Steve Austin.

 

[Donnie Darko]

Damn it, this has inspired me to recast the Attitude Era with celebrities for the Recast Thread. lol

The only problem is that so many of them are just so physically huge that they would be hard to cast with regular actors. You could do Chris Hemsworth as young Triple-H. It works, considering so many people pushed for Triple-H as Thor.

 

[ALP]

Arnold can be Vince lol

 

[Lunar_Wolf]

''It's not a tomah''

 

[PSYLENTGuardian]

Jean-Claude Van Damme as Rob Van Dam

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

Best idea I've heard all night of any movie.

 

[bullets]

John Malchovich as Stone Cold Steve Austin

Antonio Banderas as Eddie Guerrero

 

[dude stannis]

Jean-Claude Van Damme as Rob Van Dam

Pitch perfect.

 

[kane9321]

I so loved benoit..but i really dont wanna see this being made

 

[Darkness Falls]

i still don't think this story needs to be recreated on screen

 

[ALP]

There has been countless films about Hitler. Charlize Theron won a oscar portraying a real life serial murderer. Etc.
