( fr ) The Wrestler is an upcoming film directed by Darren Aronofsky and starring Mickey Rourke, Ernest Miller, Marisa Tomei and Evan Rachel Wood. Production began in January 2008. The film premiered at the 2008 Venice Film Festival and was a winner of the Golden Lion Award for Best Film. Randy "Ram" Robinson (Mickey Rourke) is 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.

Could Fewer Downloads Mean Bigger Box Office for Wolverine?

Sunshine for curmudgeons
Melodie, as played by a sublime Evan Rachel Wood (Across the Universe, The Wrestler), is as sunny as Boris is grouchy. She's impressionable and innocent, and becomes Eliza Doolittle to his Henry Higgins. Her spewing nihilistic views in a honey voice to date Perry (John Gallagher Jr., Tony winner for Spring Awakening) is funny. [Read more]
