Guess i should try auditioning for Linda

Damian Rey 2.0 02-20-2019 04:54 PM
Holy shit I can't wait for this. I'm picturing it now and the casting is brilliant.

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!"

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 02-20-2019 05:25 PM
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 02-20-2019 05:36 PM
Just get Brooke to do it. It was good enough for Straight Outta Compton.

Ol Dirty Dastard 02-20-2019 05:48 PM
John Hamm would make a good Vince McMahon... as was discussed for that ridiculous McMahon script.

slik 02-20-2019 06:04 PM
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 02-20-2019 06:18 PM
I can't wait for the part in the movie where Hulk singlehandedly ends communism by legdropping the Berlin Wall.

erickman 02-20-2019 07:32 PM
hope they get someone good to play piper, is vince and wwe involved in the project?

Itll be interesting to see how they cover the Steroid Trial

Fignuts 02-20-2019 07:49 PM
I really don’t want to see John Goodman in a singlet.

slik 02-20-2019 07:55 PM
Nia Jax will play Andrea The Giant who battles Hogan at WM3

RP 02-20-2019 08:06 PM
Hogan's ego has to be at an All-Time high.

Lock Jaw 02-20-2019 08:30 PM
I wonder if Hemsworth will shave his head!

Blonde Moment 02-20-2019 08:31 PM
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.

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

So AWA to Thunderlips to WWF

Jonah Hill should play Lou Albano

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 02-20-2019 10:59 PM
I seen he made a tweet with Jamie Fox, is he playing Mr. T?

Gotta leave room for a sequel.

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 02-21-2019 10:18 AM
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 02-21-2019 11:15 AM
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.

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 02-22-2019 12:55 PM
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.

Just the top

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

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

Florida style.
