"Eddie [Guerrero] is obviously very important to the story," Sarah Coulter tells WorstPreviews.com, who has already written the first draft of the script. "Triple H, Kurt Angle, they're all there, but it's early and things can still change."

Regarding whether the film will be a biopic, Coulter says, "Chris had a remarkable career. You take a look at his time in Japan and with Stu Hart, and you realize that you'd need more than one movie to tell the entire Chris Benoit story. Ultimately, it's about the 2007 murders/suicide, so we had to pick and choose the right moments in Chris' career that may have been factors in his downfall."

Coulter adds several actors are under consideration for the lead role and that an official casting announcement will be made soon.[/quote]

I suppose this is a story that has to be told, but I just hope they portray it a semi-objective light. My biggest concern is the ever present danger of it devolving into an exploitation piece that focuses on the horrors of steroid abuse at the expense of other elements of the story.

Chris Benoit was a multi faceted individual and while his life offers much for many to learn from, it also deserves a fair treatment (in terms of loyalty, commitment and friendship) prior to its culmination in great tragedy.

Sorry if this is politically incorrect, but my interest is in seeing a fair rendition that is more than one sided.

Oh boy this movie is going to bomb.

I have no desire to see anything to do with him.
