Brian in Mesa

Being directed by Darren Aronofsky and starring Mickey Rourke...

The Wrestler

The film centers on 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.

Sounds interesting. Maybe they got their idea from "Beyond The Mat". A great documentary that I recommend highly.

This movie sounds great. It won The Golden Lion at the 2008 Venice Film Festival and has some Oscar Buzz for Rourke.
