Rascall Flatts Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 It has to happen one day. I reckon Tommy Lee Jones would be a great old Vince, but I can't imagine who'd be his younger self. Jonah Hill would be a great Bruce Prichard, much like he was in the Wolf of Wall Street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUM Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Isn't it already in production? Bradley Cooper was offered the role of Vince. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rascall Flatts Posted December 30, 2017 Author Share Posted December 30, 2017 Yes, I heard that a film was in production but nothing seems to have come of it. Vince obviously wouldn't let anything get out there that makes him look like the mentalist that he is. I'm just throwing shit out there. It would make a great TV series. The story of him inheriting this crazy business and destroying the territories, his relationship with Hogan... it almost writes itself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUM Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 It's WWE Films who have taken the lead on it, it's called Pandemonium. Definitely something coming of it, they edited anything that made him look bad in the scripts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rascall Flatts Posted December 30, 2017 Author Share Posted December 30, 2017 Right. But! It's such an amazing story to be told. There's no-onne in the world like Vince. If someone is up for it, it could be the new Breaking Bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, he is the most interesting guy in wrestling and I'd love a warts and all show about the mad sneezy fucker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookiee2018 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 A film would be interesting, anyone ever read sex lies and headlocks ? that's a good book, talks a lot about Vince in the early days getting into promoting, wrestlemania, family life. Some things in the book talk about how sleazy he was especially around female employees. Stuff youf get away with in the 80s but if that happened today Vince would end up like Harvey Weinstein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rascall Flatts Posted December 30, 2017 Author Share Posted December 30, 2017 Mad sleazy fucker isn't going far enough, though. "Interesting" is one way to put it. That guy's life.... Jesus. You can't even fathom it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rascall Flatts Posted December 30, 2017 Author Share Posted December 30, 2017 I remember watching the "wrestling scandals" tape from Rob Butcher, back in the day. Vince and Meltzer were on the Donahue show, Vince was accused of rape, and in this climate it's quite astonishing that he got away with it. He really was the original Weinstien. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Really Big Shoe Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 If its a WWE Films production it'll be highly unlikey we will see a real portrayal of Vince. Ideally for that to happen it would need to be independently produced. But you can imagine WWE legals team putting a lot of roadblocks into stopping it being released. Vince is a real interesting character and his story should be told. As long as its not like the Jesse Ventura movie which seemed to be based in an alternative reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briefcase Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I'm not sure a film is really needed (lets assume the WWE films one is PG). I would be more than happy with a 24 type show like a documentary about him, obviously more than one as they produce them much better. I could imagine him already filming things stored away in archive for when the time is right and he seems like someone who would know his time is up (morbid I know) and milk his final months for the sake of a good WWE network show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 It would depend which version of Vince they were wanting to portray. If it's in the hands of WWE Films then it's largely irrelevant, but if they went with wanting to show as 80 & 90s Vince up until Mr McMahon comes around I could see John Hamm being well cast, he could do the mild manner TV side of Vince but also the sleazy fucker behind the scenes too. If you wanted to portray as the utter mental case that he probably is, Al Pachino in his prime would have been great if a foot or so too short. Having said that, the last thing I saw him in was a biopic of Phil Spector and it's been even longer since I saw him in anything good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Really Big Shoe Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Jon Hamm as Vince is a good shout, Al Pacino too if he was taller. Bryan Cranston could play all aspects of Vinces character but he'd most likely be too expensive. I'd go with Jon Hamm put him in an old WWF announcer get up and he'd be believable as Vince I think  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Dennis Quaid has the same vacant look in his eyes that says "I've done some shit but I'm fucked if I can remember what it was." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted January 1, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted January 1, 2018 Dennis Quaid is an excellent shout to play Vince. He also has the same gaping dimple in his chin, doesn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
