If you thought wrestling looked fake, wait until you see their movies, which is doubly sad since you know movies are supposed to be fake.
The World Wrestling Entertainment franchise have officially opened their own Hollywood film studio, according to Variety.Their first film on the marquee will be a John Cena star vehicle called “12 Rounds,” a wrestling movie directed by Renny Harlin, the man behind such timeless classics as “Deep Blue Sea,” “Driven” and “Cutthroat Island.” And when I say timeless classics, I mean films that are so bad, they can actually slow the process of time, so if you have two days to live, rent “Deep Blue Sea.”
This won’t be WWE Films’ first flick. They’ve already produced three films under the WWE banner including “See No Evil,” “The Marine” and “The Condemned,” all of which pretty much tanked. How they get producers to back this studio? Did they get some of their wrestlers to threaten to pummel them into the canvas and how did they convince the producers to sign up once they stopped laughing at the wrestlers?
Of course, they aren’t just going to focus on movies. In fact, they are only going to put out one or two movies a year. Their biggest market will be television because movie studios require their customers to wear pants AND shoes when they go out to see a movie.
