I figured it only natural that the movie the board is advertising have it's own thread.
Personally, I have no idea who this Kane person is the ad keeps referring to, but a friend tells me he's a wrestler of some sort. Not having watched it since I was 10, I can't validate this at all, but it does create a sort of two-sided issue for me. On the one hand, I hate the wrestler-turned-actor fad (as only Piper did it right) so this has a strike against it. Plus, from the ads, it appears as though it's a hulking brute killing people who he thinks are the ones who tormented him in his youth. No originality, and a motive that really should be stricken from the possible uses for serial killers from no one. Yet, this is a R-rated theatrically-released slasher that isn't a remake, which gets me interested in it.
Anyone else?

Well, if they can't write the script for the movie any better than they write the storylines for Raw & Smackdown these days (haven't been watching them regularly anymore, just bits & pieces when I'm flipping through channels) then it will definately be MST3K material. And Kane, or whatever his real name is, can't even act on the wrestling shows so what makes them think he can do it in a movie? Just shows that Vince McMahon has way too much money. I think I remember reading awhile ago that he was planning to do several movies starring some of the wrestlers. God forbid....
