Movies Usyk to play Igor Vovchanchyn with The Rock in Mark Kerr movie

[ryun253]

Not sure if Kerr is still working as a car salesman but hopefully the Rock can kick something to Kerr for this movie

I hope Angela Hill plays the part of Josh Barnett

Igor was a killer, dude was 5'8 fighting absolute monsters and destroying them. The very fact that he even fought Mark Kerr (6'3 absolute titan) seems insane by modern standards. Usyk is 6'3 so it's a bit of a stretch for him to play Vovchanchyn although they are both Ukrainian. Usyk mostly fought at handicapped weight limits while Vovchanchyn fought mostly at openweight/HW, so kind of shows you the difference between them in terms of fighter spirit.

Of course Usyk's six wins at HW in boxing have shown he is a legitimate HW fighter especially as he has become undisputed HW champion, but he did fight at handicapped weight divisions for most of his career despite being 6'3, while Vovchanchyn fought at openweight/HW for most of his career despite being 5'8.

Can’t we have some actors playing these guys

I bet Usyk is better actor than 90% of Hollywood people.



Also you don't need a lot of skills to play Igor.

I think there’s reason to be optimistic about this, regardless of feelings about The Rock (I’m a fan but I know he’s pretty polarizing on here).

A24- strong studio that has far more wins than losses as far as I can tell.

Blunt- usually very good.

Safdie- one half of a legitimately strong directing duo. A guy who isn’t just going to phone in someone else’s vanity project.

Omg gimme a fuckin break.

It's a fucking movie.

Trying to undermine Usyk's "fighting spirit" with "handicapped weight divisions"

Are you even on this planet??

Make up in Hollywood can do marvels. Look at the Rock as Mark Kerr.

He's 6'3 and Vovchanchyn is 5'8, and he's a decisionator and Vovchanchyn is a knockout machine. I'm just saying they're cut from a different cloth that's all. Of course I am on this planet that goes without saying.

Of course I am on this planet that goes without saying.

Not too sure about that.

 

[Poirierfan]

Vin Diesel should be Coleman. Outside of fast and furious, he can actually be a decent actor

They resemble each other and kinda sound alike as well.

 

[Lethal_Striker]

The real question is who's going to play Paul "The Polar Bear" Varelans?

Ronda Rousey

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Did they bring in Shane Carwin for the height cut

 

[Fox by the Sea]

well ask yourself this, if they made a movie about usyk, would you say vovchanchyn would be fit to play him?

 

[dipstickjimmy]

The look yeah but he's going to need some acting skills to pull off Coleman, who's supposed to be a major character.

Only for those who know what Coleman sounds and acts like. Otherwise he just has to be a heavily muscled wrestler. If they needed an actor to do a Ben Kinglsey-Ghandi sort of role they would have cast an actor. With it being a vehicle for the Rock it will be more action and less acting.

Joe Rogan

 

[PBAC]

Usyk getting recognised

god damn that card was shit though

 

[pick999]

this movie's going to totally blow. first, the rock is in it. two, it's just gonna blow. they're going to get so many things wrong. the real mark kerr movie is the smashing machine. you can't get much better than that.

Lots of rock movies suck its only about the fame and money

 

[Jack Reacheround]

Has there ever been a decent movie with a cast of mma fighters ?

No. They make for horrible actors.
