The WWE has been in the process of developing its own films for a little while now. One of the projects they have in the works is called “The Condemned“. This one will star former wrestler Stone Cold Steve Austin and a guy I get a real kick out of seeing on screen Vinnie Jones (playing Juggernaut in the upcoming X-Men 3).
Austin is a HUGE dude, who has all the physical tools to pull off a great action hero. The only problem is that I don’t know if the guy can act. His small part in The Longest Yard didn’t really give us much to base an opinion on. So I guess we’ll have to wait and see. The good folks over at Empire give us this synopsis of “The Condemned”:
Austin will play a man on death row in a corrupt Central American jail. He’s “bought” by a wealthy TV producer looking for the next big thing in reality telly. Austin’s character must fight to the death with nine other condemned men.
Yeah… wasn’t this called “The Running Man” a few years ago? Oh well… it could still be fun.
