Directed by Sean Durkin:
>The film is centered around the Von Erich family, a dynasty of wrestlers from the 1960s onwards who had enormous success, and popularized the Iron claw professional wrestling hold. But as well as fighting battles in the ring they fought the “Von Erich curse” outside of it.
* Zac Efron as Kevin Von Erich
* Jeremy Allen White as Kerry Von Erich
* Harris Dickinson as David Von Erich
* Maura Tierney as Doris Von Erich
* Holt McCallany as Fritz Von Erich
* Lily James (TBA)
For anyone who might want to take a deep dive into the Von Erich family, I HIGHLY recommend the multiple part “The Lamentable Tragedy of World Class” from The Lapsed Fan wrestling podcast.
I remember the Von Erich wrestlers! My favorite family from the 80s.
Excited for this, I hope its good and the toll he took on his body was worth it
For some reason, I thought Efron was playing Kerry. I am very interested in this project though.
this will be the most depressing film of 2023 (if it releases next year).
Efron did an interview talking about how miserable he made himself while training to get into the shape he is in the Baywatch movie, saying he developed severe insomnia and depression, along with a lot of other health issues. Um…dude must love being miserable because here he is once again looking like he was carved out of marble. Props to the dude, I just hope he’s taking care of himself.
I say from my couch still recovering from Taco night yesterday.
Let’s get into a lengthy discussion of whether or not Zac is on steroids…
Second*
Reminds me of the film Barton Fink was supposed to write in the Coen Brothers movie …
Is that supposed to be the iron sheik?
Let’s hope Randy “The Ram” Robinson makes an appearance!
Holy shit he is shredded
Freaking weirdo got implants in his jaw lmao
This is going to be a really intriguing movie, from the get go because the story of the Von Erich family is very dark, and depressing. Almost like they were cursed. All the brothers died in the family, besides Kevin. They also had a horrible abusive father, it’s really heart breaking, and they were all quite successful when it came to wrestling.
A24 also making this and a pretty good director, interesting stuff.
Does it have a date yet?
Looks weird. Zach is very short for a wrestler at only 5ft8. Kevin was about 6ft2 in his peak.
Has a former wrestling fan I’m looking forward to this, I just remember interviews of Zac Efron saying how much he hated the physical demands of getting in shape for Baywatch, I guess he must love the process lol
that stomach of his (the abs) just throws me off. is it actually real abs?
Never skip gut day
Actually looking forward to this movie, the Von Erich story has always been interesting, so hopefully they do a good job with it
Yo what the fuck are those abs even. Looking like a teenage mutant ninja turtle.
i miss when he was a skinny twink sigh
Dukes of hazard
Must have been a fun scene for the extras there
Why does his stomach look so weird and distended?
Looks like he works out
Is it just me or is Efron’s muscles a little too much? Or is it the lack of body fat? Something is unsettling about it. Maybe it’s him being so short too. It’s like one of those weird eastern european children that get pumped with steroids you see pop up every other year or so.
Oh man I am excited for this
Living in the Dallas area in the 70s and 80s I followed the Von Erichs, it ended so badly for all of them, even Kevin who’s still alive. Losing so many family members to suicide must have been awful..
I did see Kerry Von Erich in the Love Field parking garage with his family, he was absolutely huge.
He definitely hit the weights AND the roids. Not judging. Just based off his physique, no way that’s natural.
Is that Bald and Bankrupt?
I feel bad for him because it must be so hard for him to get laid.
With so many of these “first look” set photos it’s usually just the actor, looking like they would on any day, with a blank expression. Bravo to whoever chose this instead.
The Kennedys: We have a tragic past.
The Von Erich family: Hold our beer.
