Full Plans For Kurt Angle Biopic Revealed

Kurt Angle has revealed the full plans for the biopic on his life that is currently in the works.

Angle recently revealed that the script had been completed but the WWE Hall of Famer has now noted to WrestleZone that the project will be split into two movies. The first film will focus on Angle's Olympic gold medal win at the 1996 Olympic Games, while the second movie will chronicle his pro wrestling career. The movies will be directed by Ian and Eshom Nelms and will be Rocky combined with The Iron Claw.

"Actually, I don’t know if you know this, but I have a movie about my life story coming out. John (Bernthal) is helping me out with it a little bit. He got me the directors, Ian and Eshom Nelms. These directors are incredibly talented, they were actually amateur wrestlers, so they understand my sport. They directed movies like ‘Fatman’ starring Mel Gibson and ‘Red Right Hand’ starring Orlando Bloom. They’ve done a lot of incredible films," Kurt stated.

"My movie is going to be about a kid from the streets of Pittsburgh that overcomes adversities, including a broken neck, and ends up winning an Olympic gold medal. It's only about my Olympic history, it’s my Olympic story. It’s gonna have a Rocky-type of feel to it with a touch of The Fighter and Iron Claw. My directors are so talented, so for the first time, I’m gonna be on the opposite side of the camera and I’m gonna be watching these guys do their magic," he continued.

"I can't wait to bring this to the world, I think it’s going to be a great story. The idea is to have two different movies, which is kind of ironic. The first one’s about my Olympic story and the second one’s about my professional wrestling career. We’re going the first one first, seeing how that pans out, and then we’re gonna do the other one. There was just too much content to put both of them together, so we decided to separate the two and do the first movie first, and the second movie second in the future."

Angle recently reflected on his pro wrestling career and admitted he feels his TNA stint doesn't get the accolades it deserves.
