Above is our first look at Mickey Rourke in character Randy “The Ram” Robinson, an aging professional wrestler who is told he can never wrestle again. Click on the image above to enlarge.
Over the course of two days, Darren Aronofsky (Requiem For a Dream) shot some scenes for his upcoming film The Wrestler in the Hasbrouck Heights training club. The [2] WXW Website reports that Rourke filmed scenes in the ring in front of WXW live crowds, and behind the scenes in the locker room. Afa the Wild Samoan is apparently Rourke’s trainer on the film, and was at ringside for the shooting.
