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

Dr Fong said:
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

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

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!

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

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?
