Benny Safdie to Direct Dwayne Johnson in A24 Movie About MMA Legend Mark Kerr

[Bryan Danielson]

Man really trying not to do Wrestlemania next year, said I'm going to act for this movie.

 

[ViShawn]

The funny thing is in this film is that I've met the Japanese MMA fighter in the clip, Bas Rutten, and Ryan Bader lol. Excited for this.

We saw Bader in the parking lot the night Rashad KO'd Chuck
So I was like
DARTH BADER

He came over and chopped it up with us for no good reason for a couple minutes lol
Probably was just happy to be recognized like a year or so into his career

I met Bader in 2011 at the Arnold Classic. Was never really a fan of him as a fighter because I was into shogun, Jones etc back then but dude was super kind and humble. This was early in his UFC career

Looks cool. Big Safdie Bros. fan.

Same
Young Bones was something else man, never seen anything like it
Chute Boxe > *
IDGAF about any other team, no one can ever match these vibes

 

[TheNatureBoy]

Looks good, great seeing PRIDE footage.

 

[THE 101]

This should be good. Safdie is a legit sports head so it should be legit.

Not sure about that Emily Blunt casting though

 

[King Static X]

Not interested, and I don't like documentary-type films about living people.

That said, Emily Blunt looks good as usual.

 

[Roid Jones]

Oscar bait Dwayne

At points he looks like Kerr but the voice is not there

 

[Roid Jones]

Is that Rock doing a cover of "My way"??

Yep, it's at the end of the film when Kerr's CTE has fully marinated

 

[Roid Jones]

They better have the PRIDE theme and Lenne Hardt on the mic

 

[Roid Jones]

Oscar

Could be, looks like he's playing both Mark Kerr and Bas Rutten, what MBJ know bout that

 

[Trav]

This is perfect for him. Different Animal, Same Beast type shyt that will allow him to actually step outside himself a lil bit.

 

[Piff Perkins]

Looks great and the Safdies rarely miss. These are the types of films the Rock should have been making. I get it, he's always gonna chase blockbusters. But he could have been doing something like this every other year all decade.
