            I don’t know if I’ve ever been so excited for a biopic as I am for this one but as a huge wrestling fan my whole life, Vince McMahon has always warranted a movie about his life and the rise of the WWE. Well, according to Deadline, this is finally happening as the pro wrestling icon and visionary is getting a movie titled Pandemonium.

            Pandemonium will follow McMahon’s rise to the top of the wrestling business as well as show some of his family’s influences on him and his life in the business he helped shape. McMahon is third generation so he’s followed in the footsteps of his grandfather Jess and father, Vincent but Vince was the one who pushed the envelope and helped propel wrestling to new heights. He helped mold the careers of greats like Hulk Hogan, The Rock, Triple H, John Cena and Stone Cold Steve Austin just to name a few. I’m curious to see who they get to portray McMahon on screen but my vote is Bryan Cranston. It has to be someone who oozes charisma just as much as they can be serious.

            John Requa and Glenn Ficarra (Crazy, Stupid, Love, This Is Us) are set to direct the project which means there is talent behind this production. They’ll be working with TriStar Pictures and WWE Studios along the way. Hopefully, we get more details ASAP on this project that has moved to one of my most anticipated movies in development.
