From Foley's Twitter:
I am thrilled to announce that I will be teaming up with Union Square Media to do a major movie based on my life story! Press Release: Union Square and American Original to Produce Feature Film Based on the Life Story of Professional Wrestler Mick Foley NEW YORK, Sept. 27 /-- Union Square Agency (USSE Corp., Pink OTC Symbol: UCRP) will showcase the life story of one of the most hardcore wrestlers of all time, Mick Foley. Union Square's Media division will produce the film with American Original founder Jeff Katz. Foley's managers, Michael Braverman and Barry Bloom, will also executive produce. Christopher J. Scott will be directing. The film, written by Scott and Foley, will tell the unmasked story of Mick's obsessive desire to become one of the most popular wrestling icons of all time. Foley is a New York Times bestselling and critically acclaimed author, having written two autobiographies, a series of children's books with a new memoir on the way called COUNTDOWN TO LOCKDOWN, from Grand Central Publishing launching on October 1st. "I am thrilled to have the opportunity to finally bring my story to the screen. With Union Square as my tag-partner, I foresee many entertained and/or shocked audiences in our future," said Mick Foley.

"I spent three years in the wrestling industry before coming to Hollywood and always found Mick's story to be highly emblematic of the classic American success story.

As a Foley mark:
Wooh! |
Cool.
I always thought a movie about Foley would be the goods. My question is, will they find a way to intersperse the shot film with actual footage from his matches in Japan, WCW, ECW and the WWF? Or will everything be recreated from scratch? Also, who will play Foley? Will he play himself? Will The Rock play himself? Or Austin? Are the WWE and Vince McMahon involved in this at all? Can Foley act? Will it be a piece of shit? |
Sounds like a great Idea but I don't want it to end up like the Sting movie.

I don't think I'd want to see him thrown off the Lockdown Cage by Sting as called by Don West. |
First thing that came to my mind was Hardcore Justice and all the trademark rights owned by WWE. Can the movie even mention the letters ECW, WWE etc?

From the line of films from that guy Katz, it looks to be more like a feature film sort of thing.
|
On a side note here, I wish someone would do a Beyond the Mat 2. Film all the Indies around now and TNA. I want an update on Dennis Stamp.

This summer.... Dwayne Johnson is... Mick Foley.

Will Mrs. Foley be satisfied by her son's ear? It will not leave her alone for most of the year and won't go BANG BANG! every 25 sec.

I had Malcovich as more of a Kevin Sullivan.
Hire Big Daddy V to play Abdullah. |
|
|
I hope they dont forget the "Lost in Cleveland" part.
Hell, that could be a whole movie right there. Aged wrestler suffers a concussion/memory loss and winds up living on the streets of Cleveland with no memory of his true identity. |

So, they're having Drew Carey play Mick Foley, then? |
