Nicolas Cage To Play '80s-Era Pro Wrestler

Hollywood Reporter:

Nicolas Cage is in talks to star in screenwriter Robert Siegel's indie drama "The Wrestler."

The film, now in development at Darren Aronofsky's Protozoa Pictures, 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.
