WWE Films/Wrestlers in Movies Thread

There's a scene in See No Evil where there's a girl in a cage, and Kane starts rubbing himself (his hand and crotch being off camera). I imagine it was supposed to be there!

It's a very interesting interview, it's a bit sad that Dan Madigan (the writer) wrote a script and tried very hard to take out any cliches, only for Vince & Co to re-write it and put them all back in. I imagine that's just Vince's idea of what horror fans want, the same old stuff.

I wonder what the original script was like. In any case the movie is still one of WWE's best.

lol it's like 2 seconds long before someone bursts in the door. But enough to make you uncomfortable

Vince is very weird when it comes to this stuff. Didn't he want to do an incest angle one time with Steph, where he wanted Shane to be the father of her child, or even himself. Also don't forget the Katie Vick angle, where he had Triple H make out with a mannequin in a funeral home while there was another funeral going on in the other room. Guy has a weird imagine if you ask me.

Also this along with his thing for guys with muscular bodies. He's certainly has some homoerotic interests.

I think he wanted to be the father but Stephanie refused. Then he suggested Shane and she refused again. He kept pushing until she refused to be involved at all. Think she only appeared a couple of times in random segments during her pregnancy.

I guess it's good that she isn't interested in doing storylines like that considering she will be the boss in a few years time along with Mr. H.

sad to think she and big nose will be the boss when we all wanted shane o mac

I think Triple H will be quite good at it, provided he's well and truly retired at the time. If he still wrestles, even just part time, it could be very bad indeed. But if he is done, I can't see any problems with it. True, he'd have his favourites, but everyone would. At least Triple H is dedicated. You don't have to like him but he lives and breaths wrestling. He won't be half assing it.

Stereomaniac

Hunter does what's gonna benefit Hunter, as far as I can see. He lives and breathes his ego.

Well the t-shirt didn't lie Vince does indeed like C**k. 3ft ones at least

WWE Hall of Famer Steve Austin
will be filming scenes for "Grown Ups 2" starring Adam Sandler, according to JRsbarbq.com. Austin will be filming in July....oh Steve how could you.

jaykhunter

Jaysus Steve, could've picked a better film but hey, he's getting his foot in the door with a big-time comedy actor. He's done a gazillion action movies where he plays the same no-nonsense bad ass; and we've seen that he has a much broader range than that.

Aside from the Expendables he's been mostly kicking around in straight-to-DVD films, so this is good to get him back on the radar. Who knows, maybe it was a choice of Sandler or Rob Schneider!

I imagine he's kicking himself he didn't broaden out sooner, like The Rock, I get the feeling he's sick of being typecast....which is probably a blessing and a curse.

Is Adam Sandler not seen as a joke by the majority of people these days? Anytime I see people talk about him, its always the "go away and dont come back" kind of way.

Cherry_Cola

Austin actually has a Survivor style TV show coming out soon called "Redneck Island" also. I'm a big Survivor fan so looking forward to seeing if it's any good.

CMpunked

I hope he plays himself. That would make sense going by the way the first movie was about; older guys who had one last chance at feeling young and crazy.

I say first movie. I could only stomach about half of it.

Check out the trailer for his upcoming movie "That's my boy". Its classic Sandler at its finest. Coming out in a few weeks afaik.

GTR63

I hate Adam Sandler's films women love them though god knows why. Quite like Kevin James, loved The King of Queens with Arthur 'Frank Costanza' Spooner.

jaykhunter

I'm not an authority on comedy but I thought of Sandler as a guy who everbody seems to hate but I imagine his films do really well with the majority of the cinema-going people. Like enough people (that aren't on the net lol) enjoy his films. Same with King of Queens and all the other lads in that film with the actors watersliding down on the poster :P

Movie idea #2,305: Adam Sandler is trapped on a deserted island and falls in love with a coconut.

Guest staring Rob Schneider as an eccentric fellow cast away.


Speaking of wrestlers and Sandler; I thought Austin was great in the longest yard, although he wasnt a massive character.

I actually kinda liked Grown Ups I'm ashamed to admit....

He had a much bigger role in the Expendables than I thought he would.
Wouldn't Rob Schneider star in Derp? Or as a Carrot?

A Carrot or a Stapler probably better than being a Gigilo, a Animal and appearing in every Adam Sandler film saying 'You can do it'.

Also a rapping granny

The only properly good Sandler film is Punk Drunk Love. He actually acts in it, and acts well too.
Happy Gilmore has its moments though.

Seems WWE Films didn't have any hand in the making of the film though, they just bought up the US distribution rights.

Warner Bros. and WWE Studios Form Tag Team to Solve A Spine-Crunching Mystery!

ANIMATED MADE FOR VIDEO FILM STARRING WWE SUPERSTARS AND DIVAS TO BEGIN PRODUCTION SET FOR A 2014 HOME ENTERTAINMENT RELEASE

STAMFORD, Conn., August 15, 2012 – Warner Bros. and WWE Studios (NYSE:WWE) announced they will co-produce a Scooby-Doo animated feature that will find Scooby and the gang solving a mystery at WrestleMania®. The announcement was made today by Jeff Brown, Executive Vice President and General Manager, TV, Family & Animation, Warner Home Video and Michael Luisi, President, WWE Studios.

WWE Superstars and Divas including Triple H®, John Cena®, Kane, The Miz®, Brodus Clay™, Santino Marella®, Sin Cara™ and AJ™ will appear in animated form and lend their voices to the project. WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon® will also lend his voice and appear in animated form.

“We are excited to partner with Warner Bros. on this wonderful animated film,” said WWE Studios President Michael Luisi. “Kids and adults are going to enjoy seeing their favorite WWE Superstars in animated form join forces with an icon like Scooby-Doo to solve a mystery at the biggest pop-culture event of the year – WrestleMania.”

“Warner Bros. is thrilled to get into the ring with WWE Studios to bring fans an unprecedented animated adventure,” said Jeff Brown, Executive Vice President and General Manager, TV, Warner Home Video. “We’re excited to leverage the WWE’s family-friendly brand and passionate fan base and integrate some of the most popular WWE Superstars and Divas within the Scooby-Doo gang.”

When Shaggy and Scooby win tickets to WrestleMania, the entire gang travels in the Mystery Machine to WWE City to attend the epic event. However, when a mysterious ghostly bear appears and threatens to ruin the show, Scooby, Shaggy, Velma, Daphne and Fred work with WWE Superstars to solve the case.

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment will handle worldwide distribution on Blu-ray, DVD, VOD and digital download. The film will be produced by Warner Bros. Animation. WWE will utilize its extensive global reach through its television, digital media and print assets to market the release of the film.

Miz did it.

Scooby-Doo is teaming up with the gang from the WWE in a new animated movie. Yep, really!

Deadline reported the surprising news, revealing Warner Bros. and WWE Studios will coproduce this new Scooby-Doo film, which will be released via Blu-ray, DVD, VOD and digital download by Warner Bros.

The story will involve Scooby and his pals investigating a mystery at, wait for it, WrestleMania. The WWE’s Triple H, John Cena, Kane, The Miz, Brodus Clay, Santino Marella, Sin Cara, AJ Lee and Vince McMahon are all voicing animated versions of themselves in the film.

WWE Studios President Michael Luisi tells Deadline the WWE will “use its considerable resources to promote the effort,” so you can bet there are some Scooby-powered touts coming!

While WWE and Scooby-Doo meeting is a first, it’s worth noting that this won’t be the first time WWE wrestlers have been animated (see above), nor the first time Scooby-Doo has had some unusual team-ups, having already met the likes of the Three Stooges, the Addams Family and the Harlem Globetrotters… Oh, and a certain Dark Knight, both in the 1970s and more recently.

Update: We've got the full plot description from the press release now, which you can read below.

"When Shaggy and Scooby win tickets to WrestleMania, the entire gang travels in the Mystery Machine to WWE City to attend the epic event. However, when a mysterious ghostly bear appears and threatens to ruin the show, Scooby, Shaggy, Velma, Daphne and Fred work with WWE Superstars to solve the case."

You have to laugh when you think how in the old days WWE divas used to appear in Playboy. Quite a turnaround.

I used to hate when the villains in Scooby Doo used to do a Dance in the theme tune at the start of the show, it totally broke kayfabe. Even if it was a great forfeit as a dare.

CastorTroy

I think the Scooby Doo villain will turn out to be none other than Red Herring!

jaykhunter

3 different users posted the Scooby Doo article! Must be some kind of record :pac:

I am intrigued. Really. I'm definitely gonna check it out. Maybe WWE Axxess will be an abandoned amusement park!

Trailer for WWE's latest film, Dead Man Down, starring Colin Farrell, Wade Barrett, and the lad who was in Iron Man (no not him, or him, yea the other guy who got replaced by Don Cheedle for the second one).

Looks a hell of a lot better than their usual piece of crap. I won't be rushing to the cinema mind you but if it was on the telly I'd probably watch it.

grames_bond

not gonna lie - I think that looks quite good!

Rated R (like they said at the last partners summit at wm 28) will really open WWE's world to makeing decent movies! and buying decent movies - which I assume they did here!

martingriff

Will given Colin Farrell (did not know that was how it is spelt) and noomi Rapace is it it its does have some quality. And with an Irish guy would you expect less.
