No Response for "Official Poster for The Wrestler Revealed"
XXL-WXW super-supersize.
What’s the tattoo on his right middle finger? Is that JOB? JOE?
Please tell me it’s not Joe the Wrestler.
Who here has seen this? How would you rank the brutality of the first 30 minutes to the fights in Raging Bull, M$B or other rock-em-sock-em films?
this is not the official poster rope of silicon and in contention have already corrected this
the poster shown in the festival is the official one
XXL: It’s his brother, Joe. Late brother. Real tattoo.
Also, this was a comp poster. Turns out it leaked and the studio was non-too-happy, so they’ve gone ahead and put up the actual final poster:
http://www.incontention.com/?p=2985
so when can we expect the trailer of the movie? can’t wait!!
Thanks Kris. Nobody’s ever mistaken me for an Extra Extra Large World Extreme Wrestler before.
Yeah, thought something seemed off about the mock-up or whatever you call it. Aronofsky doesn’t strike me as a Helvetica kind of guy. Side by side comparison shows the vast improvement.
Gotta say, I enjoy seeing the stages in the design process as much as I do the final result. I still like this TIFF poster too. Glad to see they found a way to incorporate that concept.
Hope nobody got Stinkfaced for the leak.
Dude that’s hilarious. Obviously, the link caught my eye and I thought that was the name.
A thousand apologies.
Ryan, there is a scene in The Wrestler, I’m not sure if it’s in the first 30 minutes, that is beyond brutal. It is disgustingly funny too and is extremely plot-pertinent, so I won’t go into any details here, but it involves common household/office items. As I posted in another thread, this movie is like Raging Bull without the high-art gloss. I’m a fan.
Whatev.
I read THE WRESTLER script, and I thought it was pretty good. For the first 2/3rds, its playing itself as the wrestling version of those old boxing melodramas (ROCKY, ON THE WATERFRONT, etc.) and then in the last act it becomes the Anti-ROCKY.
As a wrestling fan, I was pleased that someone finally dramatized the brutal and depressing reality of professional wrestling. You have some guys who used to headline PPVs at major arenas, broadcasted worldwide, make millions of bucks….and in the process, they fucked their bodies up from injuries, steroid abuse, all the while pissing away their fortune.
There is a great scene in THE WRESTLER script I read, where Mickey Rourke’s character gives a speech to 700 something wrestling fans out to watch his last match, where he details his nasty list of injuries, like repeated back surgeries that shortened him. I’m reminded of the great Terry Funk. If you don’t know that madman, go Google him up, and that’s pretty much his story: Was NWA World Heavyweight champ in the 1970s, wouldn’t quit until he was practically crippled, and that was in 2007 I believe.
But Mickey Rourke’s situation, living in a trailer, getting the shit beaten out of him for measley handful of dollars in independent wrestling dates, alienated his family, steroids wrecked his physique and heart, occassionally getting pussy from the “ring rat” groupies, and nobody giving a shit about him.
That’s the story of way too many wrestlers, from Jake “The Snake” Roberts to Lex Luger and others, that writer Robert D. Siegel obviously did his homework.
The ending though, is just incredible.
There’s your Best Actor winner, right there!!
Best.Film.of.2008. Period……I can’t think of anything that will even come close right now (Although “Dear Zachary” is just as good – if one can call something like that “good”), but ROurke is simply astonishing……So, so good
