News Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's film about Mark Kerr is still getting made

[Bobby Boulders]

whoa whoa whoa, Igor is in the movie too? who plays him?

Oleksandr Usyk, real shit, which is a true nod to Igor's greatness and a beautiful show of respect from one fellow Ukrainian to another

 

[BowserJr]

Film will likely be mediocre at best and the Rock will probably be distractingly ridiculous as he tries to pass himself off as someone a 1/4 of a century younger.

But the fact Kerr gets paid and an OG like Vov gets deserved respect in a film by having the HW boxing champ play him makes the film a net good thing regardless.

Look up the photos of the film. The cgi and makeup do wonders

 

[Bobby Boulders]

I'm just fucking beyond stoked that the one true GOAT, Akira Shoji, wasn't cut out of the film

That's fucking awesome!

 

[Bobby Boulders]

That's fucking awesome!

Yeah, I think it's very cool. Needed a Ukrainian fighter on the level to play Igor. A lot of respect shown in the casting of this film

 

[BowserJr]

I hope Mark Kerr makes a shit load of money from this and lives a stable life going forward

There's photos. And then there's how it sustains itself across a whole film. The uncanny valley effect is going to be a much bigger thing in motion than in still shots. They still haven't perfected the technology.

And there's also the fact that The Rock can only play The Rock in the first place.

I can basically guarantee that the whole thing will just appear silly to anyone who knows who Mark Kerr is. The one thing the film has going for it is that most people don't.

 

[Bobby Boulders]

All I'm hoping is that this puts PRIDE rules in the minds of the masses, and they want more

why does the can smashing machine deserve a movie? The guy zero wins against any notable opponents in his entire life.

It's not some story of a guy that had it all and then lost it. It's nothing more than a guy that was crushing cans and they got crushed immediately when he took a step up in competition

 

[sanguinius]

Wasn’t mark Coleman an important figure in kerr’s life? Why is he played by bader?

Cringe

 

[HHJ]

It is fucking AWESOME that Usyk is playing Igor Vov

He really fought a lot of top talent and I don't even remember him.
To my defense I was even more ignorant at the time I first watched Pride.
I will check him out now though!

Why does he not? You have to just be interesting dummy. He’s very interesting. Fighting was something he did but not whim he was. Step it up bro before I make you

what's interesting about a below mid can crusher level fighter crack smoking himself into being the 1 that gets crushed by cans? The guy made a name for himself by doing a drug named after a part of your ass

There are far more deserving of their own docufim people. The rock just flipped through a mug book looking for somebody that looks sorta like him and went "ohhh that guy sorta has my complexion"

I was really being sarcastic, he was a rolly polly little guy, who probably should have been a WW, fighting at HW. But, that said, he was absolutely fearless. I named my dog (RIP) after him, 15 years ago, just so I could yell it's name like the ring announcer in PRIDE

You should have just let me find out about that part myself ha ha

I'm sure the drug problem had nothing to do with him falling off a cliff.
Perhaps the issue here is you have a lack of empathy for your fellow man and don't find these types of stories interesting?

One of the fakest public figure to play the role of one of the realest badass motherfucker in the history of the sport...
