In 2013, we are on the precipice of quite a few MMA movies. Never mind Warrior, or Here Comes the Boom, we mean real MMA movies, biopics of legends to our sport and looks behind the scenes of the organizations that have risen, fallen and become synonymous with MMA. It’s just the way the Hollywood system goes. Boxing movies have long been a staple of the sports movie genre, and MMA is ripe for the intellectual property picking season. It’s only a matter of time until the majority of the legends of our sport have a movie made, or attempted to be made about them, and Frank Shamrock is knee deep in development of his life story.
We discussed the process of telling one’s own tale with the legendary Frank Shamrock backstage at an undisclosed event, and he let us in on the challenges of finding actors to portray his brother, Ken Shamrock, his younger self, and his mentor and adopted father, Bob.
Yes, this is nothing more than a fascinating chat with Frank Shamrock, and yes there is a special guest appearance by Alex Meraz of Twilight. No, we still haven’t seen or read Twilight, yes you should watch this interview.
