Nicholas Cage "Wrestler" Movie

I saw this on Dark Horizons and thought some people might be interested...

Nicolas Cage is in talks to star in scribe Robert Siegel's indie drama "The Wrestler" for Protozoa Pictures says The Hollywood Reporter.

The story centers on Randy "The Ram" Robinson, a 1980s-era star pro wrestler who has become a burnt-out shell of his former self.

After he has a heart attack during a small-time match, a doctor tells him he could die if he fights again.

In an effort to build a new life, Robinson takes a job at a deli, moves in with an aging stripper and tries to build a relationship with her son.

But the prospect of a rematch with his old nemesis the Ayatollah proves too tempting to resist, even if it means risking his life.

The possibility of Darren Aronofsky directing, he owns Protozoa Pictures, could not be confirmed.

Haha, yeah I was thinking about mentioning this movie but I decided not to since I felt that Nicholas Cage wasn't held in high regard. But I would probably be more inclined to see it if Aronofsky directs it. I liked Pi.
