Well he aint goin on no plane :pac:

lol.

Fozzy

I remember seeing him on a chat show, maybe Conan O'Brien, sometime before his fight with Forrest Griffin and he had his hair grown out because he'd just auditioned for the role. It never fails to surprise me how slow the movie making process seems to be

That makes no sense.

Sherdog is hilarious.

Sherdog is troll central with people talking nonsense on 99.99999999999999999999999999999999% of all topics.

Wonder if there's a connection between him and Bradley Cooper (already in Midnight Meat Train together.

Clip below of that film, shows who would win in a fight between Rampage and Vinnie Jones!

Some of the humour i think is really clever, Ill be honest i dont read it for MMA news, but i do think a great majority of the posters on there, even the trolls, are very witty.

Mellor

I think Rampage is a good choice, as with all 80s remakes, they are going to be tounge in cheek, almost a parody. Should be funny

calex71

I pity the fool :pac:

The movie has been rumored for year's I'd just be happy so see a good movie regardless who plays who , I'm just happy Will Smith is not filling the role

That looks like an amazing movie!

Liam Neeson is playing Hannibal. Him and Rampage sounds like an odd pairing

Roper

i hope they get Michael Mann to do it and it comes out all po faced like Miami Vice.

Which I thought was good by the way.

Fozzy

I hope that Rashad, Forrest and Wanderlei are part of the bad guys gang

hmmmmmm

Unfortunately while this would be brillant if it was true, according to Bloody Elbow, the Sun's story is BS

It would lead to a good chase scene....this has got me a lot more interested in the movie than I would have been....hopefully Rampage can transfer his natural charisma onto the big screen.

I think you missed the post two before yours about the news not being true :pac:

Still, I've read that the good reception to the initial story might persuade them to cast Rampage in the role

Really?

I thought it was awful!! Cool looking but no real plot or substance at all!

Roper

Well I thought the plot was okay but the love story was a bit weak between Crocket and the Chinese girl. Other than that I thought it looked great and I loved the lack of dialogue. I think a lot of people went in expecting it to be either a pastiche or a buddy cop movie like Lethal Weapon. I'm a big Michael Mann fan by the way so that might explain why I didn't have those expectations.

This is the best topic this forum has ever spawned.

mmafan81

brilliant!!! i actually think he could pull it off, i love my milk ahwoooooo!!!!!!!

T-K-O

The very first interview I saw with Rampage I immediately thought he would be excellent in this role.

The guy has a talent in front of the mic.

firstroundtko

He an't getting on no plane sucka.

Whereas George Peppard and Mr T were a match made in Heaven



story came from the scum......very doubtful IF true

dunkamania

Its not true, already been debunked

jayteecork

It's "Common" from Terminator: Salvation playing him.

But i definitely think Rampage would be better, guy is hilarious.

Talk of Rampage Vs Rashad fight being rescheduled from December due to Rampage's filming commitments for the A-Team film....don't know if any truth in that though. I read that in an article about Penn Vs Sanchez fight being moved back to the December event.



btw, heres the link to that article if anyones interested http://www.fightersonlymagazine.co.uk/news/viewarticle.php?id=3031&offset=0

The last thing that I read in the Wrestling Observer about it was that Rampage did ask the UFC for permission or time off in case he lands the role. Dana was obviously mad about the possibility of having to postpone the fight with Rashad, because that looks set to be a huge show

In a perfect world we'd get both :pac:
