Chris Benoit: The Movie?!?
SRG Films has signed an agreement with Richard O'Sullivan to do a movie on the life and death of Chris Benoit. Half of the movie's $7 million budget is said to have been raised. If the other half can be raised, the movie would be produced in 2011.

... I dont know what really to say about this. I guess if its a documantary it could work, but if its an actual "movie" (actors acting out him and his life) that would be in really bad taste

Why not make a Benoit movie? They could get that guy from willow to play him. Or maybe corky.

They should have a bunch of scenes where he does the flying headbutt in slow motion and we can see the brain damage develop as his head bounces off of the mat. I also think it should be a psychological thriller where the audience sees what he's seeing as he finally starts to go insane.

I can see the trailer now: - Quick shots of Benoit hitting flying head butts, German suplexes, snap suplexes, running side-arm lariats, putting in the Crossface and REARING BACK with his face torn up like an animal... - Benoit holding up the World Heavyweight Title and hugging Eddie Guerrero... JIM ROSS: "A twenty year journey has concluded right here at WrestleMania!" - Slow fade to black... slow fade back up to Chris sitting in his locker room with his head down, holding his face. - Quick shots of: chair shots, falling through tables, head butts off of steel cages, slamming his head into the wall between white flashes... - Eddie puts his hand on Chris' shoulder... EDDIE: "Yo esse... you all right?" Chris slowly looks up at him with utterly bloodshot eyes... CHRIS: "I think I'm losing my mind." (FROM THE DIRECTOR OF "REQUIEM FOR A DREAM"... "THE WRESTLER".... and "BLACK SWAN"...) "CRIPPLER" |

They will probably make this a family comedy.

This obviously won't be more than a TV movie, but it has the potential to be pretty good.

I googled that Richard O'Sullivan, and wiki tells me he's a comedian.
Nice. |

I wonder if the movie will cover that time I met him in a movie theater.

It'd be interesting to see how they do the movie, how they get everything down without having WWE's help and support...you know, how they would portray Benoit and his achievements...you KNOW somehow they'll recreate the WM20 moment, with the confetti and Benoit hugging his family and Eddie...it'll be interesting.

It will obvi be without WWE's approval... company will be different, names, etc. so it will be the Chris Benoit story but totally fictionalized.... like JFK.
thats what methinks |
