Headline: Aronovsky to grapple The Wrestler!
19th October 2007 Posted by: tallguy2
Looks like Darren Aronovsky has found his first post The Fountain directorial project in the shape of The Wrestler.
The flick will star Nicolas Cage in a tale of Randy "The Ram" Robinson, a 1980s-era star pro wrestler who has become a burnt-out shell of his former self. After he has a heart attack during a small-time match, a doctor tells him he could die if he fights again.
In an effort to build a new life, Robinson takes a job at a deli, moves in with an aging stripper and tries to build a relationship with her son. But the prospect of a rematch with his old nemesis the Ayatollah proves too tempting to resist, even if it means risking his life.
The script has been written by Robert Siegel.
