The amount of yarns spun will be plentiful

[Black Widow]

Guess i should try auditioning for Linda

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Holy shit I can't wait for this. I'm picturing it now and the casting is brilliant.

[Bad News Gertner]

Just don't give Hogan Creative Control

"Lemme tell ya something brother, Andre was 1500 pounds when I slammed him. With one arm! I had the power of the Hulkamaniacs that night brother. In front of 125,000 fans at the Pontiac Silverdome!"

"No brother, Andre was 1500 pounds when I slammed him. With one arm! I had the power of the Hulkamaniacs that night brother. In front of 125,000 fans at the Pontiac Silverdome!"

125,000,000 hulkamaniacs in the silverdome, brother*

[Seanny One Ball]

Nobody on the planet looks like Hulk Hogan did in his prime. The man looked like a fucking monster.
That said, if you could pick anyone to do it you'd have to pick Chris Hemsworth.

[Seanny One Ball]

Amy Schumer and John Goodman to play Linda and Andre. Rami Malek as Jimmy Hart.

[Black Widow]

Amy Schumer and John Goodman to play Linda and Andre. Rami Malek as Jimmy Hart.Someone hot like Margot Robbie can play a young Linda since nobody wants to see Mrs Piggys twin.

[Seanny One Ball]

Just get Brooke to do it. It was good enough for Straight Outta Compton.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

John Hamm would make a good Vince McMahon... as was discussed for that ridiculous McMahon script.

[slik]

I hope there is a scene where Hulk is on the verge of choking out Vince McMahon and Vince says "Tell Linda I love her" and Hogan releases his grip, "Your wife is named Linda too?"

[Evil Vito]

I can't wait for the part in the movie where Hulk singlehandedly ends communism by legdropping the Berlin Wall.

[erickman]

hope they get someone good to play piper, is vince and wwe involved in the project?

[Bad News Gertner]

Itll be interesting to see how they cover the Steroid Trial

[Fignuts]

I really don’t want to see John Goodman in a singlet.

[slik]

Nia Jax will play Andrea The Giant who battles Hogan at WM3

[RP]

Hogan's ego has to be at an All-Time high.

[Lock Jaw]

I wonder if Hemsworth will shave his head!

[Blonde Moment]

John Goodman was so upset over that Roseanne deal he dropped a ton of weight.

Seems it might only cover up till the mid-80s for Hogan's career.

The biopic will not delve into those years or attempt to encompass Hogan's entire life. Instead, sources say it will focus on his rise and is described as an origin story of the Hulkster and Hulkamania.

[Bad News Gertner]

This is literally going to be "A Burns for All Seasons.

[slik]

So AWA to Thunderlips to WWF

[slik]

Jonah Hill should play Lou Albano

[Emperor Smeat]

So AWA to Thunderlips to WWF

Maybe even his initial WWF run if they want to go even farther back for his origins since that is where he got the Hulk Hogan name.

Do run into a few potential issues for narrative if they only present him as being a good guy and having to hide the fact of him facing off against Andre years before their iconic Mania 3 match.

[Simple Fan]

I seen he made a tweet with Jamie Fox, is he playing Mr. T?

[Simple Fan]

Seems it might only cover up till the mid-80s for Hogan's career.

Gotta leave room for a sequel.

The amount of yarns spun will be plentiful

Such as when he "pressed the 750lb Andre over his head". :lol:

Ever hear hogans story about how the undertaker got his name? He alleges he was in the room when Vince gave him the character, which differs greatly from Calloways story where after meeting Vince he got a phone call a few days later and Vince asked him "is this the undertaker".

[KIRA]

I wonder if he'll include the part where he was a potential bassist for Metallica or the part where he never did anything to sabotage other people's careers and was always a team player

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

In fairness, it's not like Hollywood ever actually tells honest stories. Hulk Hogan is a perfect fit, tbh.

I know that Hogan got Taker into the WWF through No Holds Barred, but I've never heard that lol. Oh Hogan.

[Emperor Smeat]

Since we have gotten a lot of emails about the Hulk Hogan film that was reported on yesterday by The Hollywood Reporter, it should be pointed out they are very early on in the process of the film.

We are told that Netflix is very high on the project, but no work has been done yet on a screenplay, which will be written by John Pollono (Stronger) and Scott Silver (The Joker).. Once the deal is set in stone, that process will begin and once they are happy with the script, they will jump right into production, but all of that depends on when they get the script to where all sides want it to be.

There has been no additional casting done for the film yet beyond Chris Hemsworth being attached to play Hogan.

So, lots of work still to be done.

[Seanny One Ball]

Sylvester Stallone should write it. He's the only one who knows exactly how much cheese is the rightamount of cheese for this sort of thing.

[Seanny One Ball]

I wonder if Hemsworth will shave his head!

Just the top

[Lock Jaw]

I wonder if he will tan himself nuclear orange or if it will be done with makeup!

[Seanny One Ball]

He's on the Sunny D diet. Four litres a day.

Florida style.
