Robles based movie? Affleck/Damon?

[Dark Energy]

Seeing a social media post (obsessed wrestler) about a Ben Affleck and Matt Damon produced movie about Anthony Robles.  Is this real?  If so, pretty cool!!  

Will he play himself?  Hard to find someone that can match him body and skill wise!!

Well, they just made a movie about Jordan without actually making about Jordan.

 

I suspect this one will focus more on the actual on mat achievements of Robles. It's gonna be a very difficult movie to make for Wrestling fans. 

1-You're going to have to pick someone who's missing a leg. If you tried making the movie and used CGI to try and duplicate Robles, people are going to get all angry just like they do when...Bryan Cranston plays a quadriplegic because he's...not actually paralyzed(it's almost as if it's acting). So that could hurt the "young Robles" scenes unless there happens to be a young Latino Wrestler with one leg who excels at tilts, the Wrestling scenes will likely be underwhelming. 

2-Getting anyone to try and make the wrestling look real is always difficult, but they really fail to get the culture of Wrestling right. Lets just hope there's not an overweight Wrestling coach wearing a singlet with a tee-shirt underneath it just randomly yelling at guys. 

Damon and Affleck have made some great movies...or really one in particular, but I'm generally a fan of their movies(save for Gigli...that was a crime against humanity).

The pulled it off with Lieutenant Dan in Forest Gump. If they actually need an actor and not rely on bout video or some magical taping, it would be great to give the opportunity to an Army vet.

There is already an actor attached to the role.

Some respect.  It was a polo, and Charles Hallahan wore the **** out of it.

... but he was STILL yelling at guys randomly, right?

That's a tough picture to look at.  Thanks KCMO2!

Well...an arm vet is gonna have a hard time playing a "young Robles."
