Quote :: Mimran Schur Pictures is currently trying to make a picture without infringing on the copyright of the WWE for the wrestler who killed his family and then himself. Yes, there is a production underway for Chris Benoit. There is no working title for the film yet.

It will look at the events that led to the tragedy of the man who was beloved by hardcore wrestling fans. It will contain flashbacks of his friend Eddie Geurrero who passed away just before Benoit did.

The WWE is making it hard for any actual wrestling to be in it due to trademarks and copyrights.

It is understandable that the WWE is being very careful of their intellectual property being used in an independent film about one of its most infamous stars in history. The WWE wants nothing to do with this and no mention of their product is their goal and we may never see this movie if WWE has their way.

HHH who is the son in law of Vince Mcmahon (The Head of WWE) will be portrayed in the movie, but no actor has been named to play him.

The Canadian born Chris Benoit will be played by Joel Edgerton who was born on June 23, 1974 in Blacktown, New South Wales, Australia. He is most famously known for playing Uncle Owen Lars in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002). Since then, he has also starred in Ned Kelly (2003), King Arthur (2004), Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005) and Kinky Boots (2005).
