Coming Soon says
SRG Films has announced their plans to adapt the Matthew Randazzo book "Ring of Hell: The Story of Chris Benoit and the Fall of the Pro Wrestling Industry" into a big-screen biopic entitled Crossface. Full details from the official press release are as follows:
"Crossface", a biographical thriller, delves into the pressures WWE superstar Chris Benoit faced throughout his wrestling career as the combination of drug-use, depression, and head trauma became increasingly impossible for him to handle. The true story made headline news in 2007 when Chris murdered his wife and young son before taking his own life.
The thing I found to be so eerie about what happened to Benoit is that not too long previous to that I actually had a nice chat with him over a beer. He was such a nice and humble guy I was amazed at how accessible he was with his fans. It sure was sad news when I heard about his murder/suicide.
Yeah, it shocked us all. A movie just sounds...wrong though.
Too soon?
