WWE Films is currently in production of their next move titled Jornada del muerto (a/k/a Journey of the Deadman ).
The plot is outlined as “a modern-day Western where gangs, drug trafficking and broken codes of honor rule.”
Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Dave Batista, and Bobby Lashley are all scheduled to be in the cast. John Milius will be directing and it is set for release in 2009.

Yeah... A movie with "Deadman" in the title and the Undertaker is nowhere to be found???

Yeah, no shit.
"a modern-day Western where gangs, drug trafficking and broken codes of honor rule."
So it'll be based on a combination of the Steroid trial and the Stable Wars of 97-99?

that broken codes of honor make it sound like there's an asain twist to it....Kai En Tai reunion maybe?

Oh gosh, I'm laughing imagining Lashley as a gangster or drug trafficker.
Better study up on the Wayne Brady on Chappel tapes.

My girlfriend bought The Marine because John Cena is "hot", I made her return it before she opened it.

I almost understand WWE's hard on for Cena, since outside of arenas, he comes across as a charismatic and charming guy...someone needs to do a step by step explination of why Lashley was signed, why he was pushed, and certainly why on god's green earth he was given a title, and now a role in a film. Why god why!
(Secertly can't wait to see HHH & HBK doing crotch chops in a movie...)
Well, he was signed because he's big. He was pushed because he's big and works, looks, acts and sounds exactly like Brock Lesnar, only less... good. Couldn't tell you why he was given a title or the role.

Now I'll admit, I hated Brock. Always did. Thought his work rate was hella overrated, but come on now. To compare Brock's work rate to Lashley is just terrible.
Spot on with them both having high amazingly whinny sounding voices though.
Ohhhhhh, I just realised, BL....Brock Lesnar...Bobby Lashley...freaky huh! :shifty:

What's the problem?
Stickman's a Smark Mark, lol.
The One

Whatever. I'd watch The Marine if it was on free TV or an airplane or something. Personally, if I was your girlfriend I'd tell you to get over yourself and stop taking shit so seriously. But whatever. Smarks are the biggest marks in the world...

Lesnar isn't bad, nor is Lashley. Lashley is greener, but there are a lot of fair similarities.

What's the problem?
Yeah, seriously, it's her cash, dude.
Stickman
03-22-2007, 05:38 PM
She has a $1300 debt on her credit card accumulating interest, yet she spends money on WWE crap and hates wrestling.

Let me say it again: It's HER cash, dude.

Let me guess...You're dating her for her looks.

I thought Undertaker was the star. I remember hearing about this project a long time ago.
Kane Knight
03-22-2007, 07:19 PM
Naw. This was one of the first proposed movies, before the Marine was conceived, and I think before I Scream Man...Errr...See No Evil...
Kane Knight
03-22-2007, 07:27 PM
Somehow, in my attempt to poke fun at Kane's movie, I forgot the other part. Anyway, back when this was first announced, it was being mentioned because Triple H wanted to move to acting, and he was being cast for this film.
The One
03-22-2007, 07:31 PM
Is that why he grew those damn ugly chops?
Kane Knight
03-22-2007, 07:34 PM
Maybe. Or possibly, he's starring in a live action Looney Toons movie.
The One
03-22-2007, 07:35 PM
...With Goldberg... :shifty:

Yeah, this was actually the movie that was the main/only project when WWE Films was first announced, and the name mentioned for the lead role was always Triple H. It has been in development hell for years now.
The second movie they began developing was The Marine, starring Steve Austin. Hmmm, funny how things change.
The One
03-22-2007, 07:45 PM
Speaking of Austin, am I the only one who is going to at least go see The Condemned?
The One
03-22-2007, 07:46 PM
And when are we going to see a movie with Hassan in it? I mean that's why he left the company right... :shifty:
Kane Knight
03-22-2007, 08:43 PM
I'll probably see the condemned, but I'm not sure yet.

aren't you a smark?
Blitz

Since Tovo was actually a wrestler, don't think you can call him a smark.
Honestly, smark is a dumb term. Unless you work in the business you're a mark, no matter how many dirtsheets you read.
NeanderCarl
03-23-2007, 05:49 AM
No, a smark (smart mark) is a mark who has been smartened to the business ie. knows that it's all show.
Surely in 2007, a real genuine mark is an extinct species?
Oh maybe it's the new breed of mark, who know it's staged and STILL pay money for it. Yes. That's it.
Fuck, we're all gullible marks.
Blitz
03-23-2007, 02:27 PM
Yep.

Considering a "smart" is just someone who is in on your tricks, and can be on either side of your carnie attraction, I'd say it fits. A smark is someone who knows what goes into the hotdogs, but still gay enough to follow religiously.
Total contradiction, but whatever.

Stone Cold and Vinnie Jones (who's used to go to the same school with me) in it? I'm mofo there.

Hahahaha! This film sounds hilarious. Just the way they put all the babyface main eventers in there.
The Undertaker and Kane would actually be good in this movie. I could buy them as drug-dealers and what-not. Lashley, not so much. Mr. Kennedy should be in it, too. He's a trained actor, when are they going to let him flex his chops?
Kane Knight
03-24-2007, 09:38 PM
Kennedy? They're saving him for a later feature, where he will play the only hope for earth.
Misterrrrrr Smith...
...Smith.
