Angle has already been making waves in Hollywood. WWE Hall of Famer and Olympic gold medalist recently shared exciting news about an upcoming film based on his remarkable career. In an interview on WFAN with Danielle McCartan, Angle revealed that a movie is currently in the works, focusing solely on his achievements as an Olympic athlete and not his pro wrestling career. The film will tell the inspiring story of how a young man from the streets of Pittsburgh overcame numerous obstacles, including a near career-ending injury, to win a gold medal at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. Speaking on the subject, he said,
“I got a movie going on. Really proud of this. It’s a really great story, it’s about a kid from the streets of Pittsburgh who overcomes all these obstacles, including a broken neck, to win the Olympic gold medal. It’s only about my Olympic career, it’s not about my pro wrestling career.”
The film is being directed by the talented duo Ian and Eshom Nelms, known for their distinct filmmaking style. Angle described the tone of the film as drawing inspiration from iconic sports movies like Rocky while incorporating elements of The Fighter and The Iron Claw. Speaking in detail about the movie, Angle expressed his excitement,
“I’m really excited about it. I’m going to be working behind the scenes for the first time. I won’t be in front of the camera. I’m really excited for the world to see it. We want to release it in theaters. It’s going to be a lot of fun for me. It’s probably the most excited I’ve been since the Olympics.”
