The Wrestler film picked up by Fox Searchlight
October 21st, 2008
Darren Aronofsky’s critically acclaimed film, The Wrestler, has been picked up by Fox Searchlight and is scheduled to debut in theaters across the U.S. on December 19. Word from the press is that “Mickey Rourke is a sure thing for an Academy Award nomination.” The film also stars Marisa Tomei, Evan Rachel Wood, and Ernest “The Cat” Miller.
On the next episode of Wrestling Respect, I’ll be interviewing one of the film’s associate producers, Evan Ginszburg who brought in many of the wrestlers who were eventually cast in the film.
Everything I’ve heard about the film so far has been high praise. This will be an excellent opportunity to get an inside look and hear from someone very close to the project.
I can’t wait to see this flick. I hope it hit’s the theaters near me!
