  I was only aware that it was being produced. I have heard nothing else. Thanks for the links.

  Was wondering if this would ever happen?

  Wondering how Dupont is portrayed in this. Will it be some lie like, "a great man who becomes sick" or as some "egomaniac friggin' nut-job" which is most accurate?

  I have so many questions on how this movie will go. How will the relationship be portrayed, the wrestling, and the mind of Dupont?? Glad this movie is going to be on the big stage though with A-list actors, just as long as they keep tons of Hollywood BS out of it and tell the true story!

  ta da.
  
  
  That's the thing. This movie may just irk off the wrestling community even more.

  bump. Looking forward to this show.
• It is what it is

  Heard about it last year from the coach at Ready (now Moeller) who has an "extra" part in it. Nothing since then however, hope it turns out accurate and realistic.

  It got great reviews in Cannes. Looking forward to it. I was in the Navy over in the Persian Gulf when I got the news Schultz was killed. Another wrestler from MI and I were in shock. He was an idle of mine!

  Fab1b: this person from MI; did you actually lower yourself to converse with him?
  
  ps: thanks for serving.
  
  Salto: email sent. Here's hoping they like your idea.

  Pretty sure it will be an accurate portrayal. I believe that Mark Schultz had a major role in this movie and it is his story. Bennett Miller is the director (movie Capote) and I think Fred Feeney had a decent role. I believe release is in November and it was supposed November 2013.

  Agree both Mark and Nancy (I think) were heavily involved. I can't wait to see it.

  Refman is also in this movie as well Reece Humphries and a host of others from Central ohio. There were movie tryouts at Cannon-McMillion high school in Pittsburg 2 years ago. I think that the movie was delayed because of editing issues. I heard nothing but good things about this film.
