So, if you can’t be bothered to read the article linked above, basically this film company, SRG Films, is gearing up to produce a biopic on Chris Benoit, the former WWE world champion whose career and legacy was forever tarnished by the Benoit murder-suicide thing that made the headlines in 2007 and put the entire wrestling industry under one gigantic microscope. One interesting note about this biopic, set to start shooting in the fall of 2012 for a 2013 release, is actually the company’s first film… yeah, that’s a great way to start up a new portfolio.
In all seriousness, though, I’m somewhat at a loss for words.
Nothing can be said about what happened that hasn’t already been said at this point. I’m not even sure (or convinced, for that matter) that this will even be brought up again, but if it does, it should be an interesting look at one of the more polarizing figures in professional wrestling history… and even more interesting how, if at all, WWE would react to such a film being made, considering all their efforts to ostensibly remove all mention of Chris Benoit from their history banks. Regardless, not quite sure how to think about this other than to say, “Let’s wait and see what happens.”
