Report: Sony Seeks Bradley Cooper For Lead In Vince McMahon Biopic 'Pandemonium'
Could Bradley Cooper be Pandemonium's Vince McMahon?
That's what wrestling dirt sheet PWInsider is reporting, which means it's what all the other wrestling dirt sheets are reporting too. Sony has made an offer to Cooper, according to the report, though Cooper has yet to accept. Getting a Hollywood A-lister attached to the film would lend the project some much needed legitimacy, which a film about pro wrestling's greatest huckster could use some of.
John Requa and Glenn Ficarra will direct the film, with the script written by Craig A. Williams. The movie will cover McMahon's entire life, taking his father's regional wrestling promotion and turning it into a global brand, ruthlessly crushing all of his competition in the process. However, WWE Studios is also working with Sony on the film, and reports so far have indicated that the film may end up being less than 100% truthful, presenting McMahon's escapades in the most flattering possible light, like a WWE documentary.
