I'm going in mildly optimistic. My advice would be to order pizza, get some beers, and invite some friends over to your house to binge watch the Laughing Man episodes of SAC. Either that or spare yourself the agony and just search for the Birth of a Cyborg opening credits on YouTube. GiTS is becoming the Full Metal Jacket of my animated film collection where i just watch the first forty minutes or so and turn it off because I've just seen the best part.

ChesterCopperpot Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Add Vince Vaughn to the list of people signed up for the Rock's movie about Paige's family - based on the 2012 documentary "Fighting with my Family" Lena Headey from GOT has been cast as Saraya Knight and Nick Frost (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz) will be playing her dad. Paige herself will be played by Florence Pugh. About Vaughn's character - Rock said this Quote He's playing a man who I know all too well and those of you who follow wrestling history know well too. The 80's wrestling star who squandered his money and opportunities because he didn't have the capacity to handle his fame. One bad decision after another, but these days he owns his past actions and does everything he can to give back to the wrestling business he loves. Vince has been a buddy of mine for years and I'm fired up to see what he brings to this role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 It's already filming - Meltzer noted how Tessa Blanchard is already off indy dates because she is already filming stuff for it (unclear if she actually has a part or if she is a wrestling stand in) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonteCarl Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I don't think Rock's statement is about any one particular person when he says "He's playing a man who I know all too well and those of you who follow wrestling history know well too". I think he's talking about somebody in the more abstract sense, y'know? You're right, it COULD be anybody, and that's the point. It's more of an archetype or amalgamation of any number of "those types of guys" rather than "He's playing Roddy Piper" or whoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 In that case someone needs to clue us in on what connection Jake had to Paige's family and how the hell Vince Vaughn is gonna pull of a credible Jake the Snake impression.

Craig H Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Mine looks like it would have been a great movie if it was just Armie Hammer stuck on that mine, like 127 Hours. Instead they had to shit it all up with action bullshit and Murica bullshit. I hope there's a twist at the end, where Louis Gossett Jr. from Enemy Mine shows up. If you're going to go wacky, go really fucking wacky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Unlocked looks like it will be mindless action fun. I love Noomi Rapace but Holy Fuck, akimbo wielding flash suppressed pistols only gets you two empty weapons for the price of one when your ammo count is black and you can only reload one gun at a time. The practice is only acceptable if it is Ghost Dog doing the killing because Ghost Dog does not miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twiztor Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 so, it is now late February, and this movie is getting ready for release in Russia. This needs a US release date, and fast. i can. not. wait. for this film. i'd prefer theatrical, but at this point i'd take a straight-to-video blu ray release.
