@BruiserBrody : Who's Zac Efron?

If it's about the Von Erichs, they should have gotten the horse from Sea Biscuit to star as Kerry.

 

[King Kamala]

Looked it up and Zac Efron is 5’8’’ so Brod is probably only OK with him playing Chris Von Erich.

The real question is how long will/did it take Meltz to say Uriah Faber should be Kerry since he used that comparison for years of San Jose MMA talk.

 

[Brooklyn Zoo]

I just found out Kevin is taller than Kerry. I guess he plays Kerry? Although as Kevin, he can be looking back and shit at the end

 

[Hawk 34]

If JK Simmons isnt Fritz then this whole thing is a waste

 

[snuffbox]

Danny McBride for Fritz.

 

[Mickey Massuco]

This is gonna be depressing shit if it’s real but I’ll still watch the hell out of it.

This could be our chance to become stars of the silver screen.

Seeking talent from New Orleans. Shit. @BruiserBrody, what WCCW guy could @SFH play?

He actually looks bigger than Kevin.

 

[Mickey Massuco]

Jeremy Allen White has to play Mike or Chris. He's just so wee.

Day one at the theater for me.

[Brocklock]

It looks like Jeremy Allen White is going to steal the movie as Kerry. It's gonna be interesting seeing the reactions of people that aren't familiar with the Von Erich story. Holt McCallany is an awesome choice for Fritz and looks a lot like him. The wrestling scenes look fantastic.

Pumped.

 

[Epic Springs]

If Ryan Gosling and Jeremy Allen White both win Oscars next year, 2011 me will be flying.

 

[Valeyard]

I'm fucking down. I just hope it's close to honest.

 

[Lazgistics Supervisor]

Holy fuck I got chills

Jeremy Allen White deserves whatever accolades he can get from whatever source wants to give it to him.

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

Oh, hey, Maura Tierney's in this.

 

[Mickey Massuco]

I am not watching the trailer, I want the movie to feel as fresh as possible when I watch it.

The posts above me let me know it’s worth watching, and that’s good enough for me.

 

[King Kamala]

“Don’t Fear The Reaper” into “Tom Sawyer”…AMAZING music choice for that trailer.


My only concern is that they fall to the biopic trapping of rushing through too much story in too little time.

It doesn’t look like Chris features prominently too much in it if at all so once again, he is the forgotten one of the wrestling Von Erichs.

 

[BruiserBrody]

Already got 2 friends who want to go see it with me in the cinema.

I'll have to try to temper my inner Meltzer and enjoy it.

Curious if stuff like Kevin collapsing in the middle of the ring weeks after Mike died and being rescued by the Fantastics doing CPR will be added.

Lots of little stories like Mike attacking a doctor, and Kerry's various drug arrests that were covered up could be glossed over.

Chris has as much tragic of a story as the rest and is hopefully not ignored. That had to play into Kerry's choice on top of the arrest.

 

[Brocklock]

I guess no one is cast as Chris. That's a bummer, but I'm still really excited for it.
