Various News: 'The Wrestler' Update, Hogan & Kimbo Together
Posted by Ashish on 07.30.2008
Two more Wednesday news items...
- The Wrestler, the new film from Darren Aronofsky that stars Mickey Rourke and had a lot of footage filmed at various independent wrestling shows including Ring of Honor, is set to debut at the Venice Film Festival next month.
- Kimbo Slice and Hulk Hogan are set to star in a movie together.
Kimbo Slice to Co-Star with Hulk Hogan in Stereo Vision's Martial Arts Comedy "Kung Fu U" in 3D
LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Stereo Vision Entertainment, Inc. (OTCBB: SVSN), a film production company focused exclusively on developing high quality, low cost, polarized 3D feature films, announced today that the undefeated Mixed Martial Arts phenomenon, Kimbo Slice, will be co-starring with Hulk Hogan in Stereo Vision's hilarious kids' comedy "Kung Fu U" in 3D.
"Kung Fu U" in 3D is a Disney-type comedy about of a bunch of nerds and misfits that are sent away by their wealthy parents to the Brentwood Academy (a.k.a. Kung Fu U) to learn the finer arts of self-defense. It's a heart-warming romp where the rather weathered warriors come to the rescue for the kids, and in turn, the kids rescue the warriors' seemingly lost souls from what had been their eternal apathy. It's a feel-good story that reminds us that we're all the same, no matter what our age, or where we came from, and that we should all stick together.
Stereo Vision's Chairman, "Baywatch" creator Doug Schwartz, stated, "We're very happy to have Kimbo Slice co-starring in ‘Kung Fu U.' He has an enormous media presence, and he'll fit right in with our star Hulk Hogan, and the other cast members in our made for kids 3D movie. We hope to have ‘Kung Fu U' in 3D in theatres by the fall of ‘09."
I went to the ROH shows they filmed the movie at, it was fun, can't wait to see the finished product.

Too bad MST3K isn't still going- sounds like they would have all sorts of fresh material with this "high quality" movie.
