Chris Benoit: The Movie?
 

From PWInsider:

Lost Colony Entertainment announced today that they had purchased the television and film rights to adapt the Irv Muchnick book "Chris & Nancy" on the Benoit family tragedy. This basically means that they will have the rights to develop and sell the property or raise the funds to produce the film on their own.

great awesome :( *sigh*

that shit would be to tragic

haha will be epic

Any idea on who's going to portray The Pegasus Kid and Woman?

...That movie is going to be a KILLER.

Get it?

Thank u.

I wouldnt get too hung up on it myself.

*IF* it gets funded.

...I wonder who's going to play Triple H and HBK in the triple threat match at WM20.

I have NOT read the book but since it was written about the tragedy I wonder how much wrestling related content the movie could have?

They AT LEAST have to have some WM20 in it...it was Benoit's greatest night...and he brought his family up to the ring, etc.

<spoiler> </spoiler>

Don't forget Tupac.

Portrayed by Johnny Depp

I was thinking more of the Simpsons halloween "The Shin-ning episode." "Flying headbutts and juice make Chris go craaaazy".

Nobody will fund this movie... Write that down...

Cast

Chris Benoit: Aaron Eckhart

Nancy Benoit: Jordanna Brewster

Daniel Benoit: Rey Mysterio Jr.

Chavo Guerrero (revceiving texts in movie): Cheech Marin.

The mysterious Wikipedia user who posted about Nancy's death before it was announced: Kane Knight

Loose Cannon wants to take his talents to South Beach

Wrestling with Retards: The Chris Benoit story.

It will probably be a made for tv movie airing only on lifetime or hallmark.

wwe would never promote this movie...would they?

...Oh, man!

They should cast Tommy Wiseau as Chris Benoit.

Give me one reason why.

I don't see why everyone's hating on a film that hasn't already been made.

The likeness of Chris Benoit is owned by World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc, and may not be used in other forms of sports or entertainment.

If there is a movie made, the people who make it will basically just take the story itself, and develop it using other characters, not necessarily use their names (Chris Benoit, Nancy, and Daniel).

Sid and Nancy < Chris and Nancy

Michael Biehn should get the role, I always thought they looked similar anyway.

He looks like Luger there.

Come with me if you want to live

You are so getting sued.

Decent match, and he's used to dealing with mindless killing machines.

The Room is good because of how bad it is.

And the notoriety the lawsuits brought.

Taker it Easy.

I want to read that, based on the description alone.

Yeah because it was totally buried and nobody has said ANYTHING about it.

I wonder who will play Orlando Jordan.

I will see it but I will NOT look forward to it.

I will buy it, watch it, and LOVE it.

How can this happen doesn't WWE still own Benoit's name and likeness?

You must be out yo' damn mind!

MAGIC HEAD!

I wonder who will play Too Cold Scorpio

I wonder who will play Rocco Rock

Who will be the villain?

Wait.

Alright, they need a twist here, like have the Taskmaster get revenge on Benoit and Woman by siccing the Yeti on them and having him hump them all till their cold, put bibles under the wife and kid, and wipe his jizz from the crime scene. Anthony Hopkins can play Sullivan and ODB can play the Yeti.
