I rank WWE films as the studio that will hire you because no one else will. They make movies to showcase how badly Wrestlers can act. Randy Orton gets his turn in Big Red but they just hired Ed Harris and his wife Amy Madigan to star.
And they are making a FAMILY DRAMA?
The “production company” recently hired Ed Harris, who might just be their biggest name to date, to topline Big Red, along with his wife Amy Madigan on board to support him. No word on if the real-life couple will play significant others in the film.
Big Red is a middle-school drama set in the mid-60’s which follows a teacher (Harris) whose life is changed by a fearless outcast named Stanley. The resident WWE meathead who most definitely will knock the film’s credibility down a few pegs will be Randy Orton, playing the father of the school bully who attempts to get Harris fired.
I misread that and I was wondering exactly how they are going to get Randy Orton to play the school bully? Its a middle school? How many times did Orton get left back? Maybe if he was the janitor, or the father of a school bully. That might make sense.
Oh.. there is is.
