The new trailer for "The Wrestler" is here. The upcoming film is directed by Darren Aronofsky and stars Mickey Rourke, Ernest Miller, Marisa Tomei and Evan Rachel Wood.
"The Wrestler" centered on Randy "Ram" Robinson (Mickey Rourke), a professional wrestler from the 1980s who is forced to retire after a heart attack threatens to kill him the next time he wrestles. He takes a job at a deli, attempts to form a relationship with an aging stripper (Marisa Tomei) and does his best to reconcile with his estranged daughter (Evan Rachel Wood). However, he is drawn to the prospect of a rematch with his old wrestling nemesis the Ayatollah (Ernest Miller), even though the fight may cost him his life.
The film's plot may sound a little too similar to Sylvester Stallone's "Rocky Balboa" (2006) but already every critic and member of the public who has seen the film has started buzzing about an Oscar for Rourke's performance. Hmm...very interesting. But I thought wrestling is fake? Oops, did I just say that out loud?
"The Wrestler" will be released in North America on December 17, 2008.
