Chris Benoit Biopic Being Planned

SRG Films recently announced that they will be adapting the book, "Ring of Hell: The Story of Chris Benoit and the Fall of the Pro Wrestling Industry," by Matthew Randazzo into a biopic titled Crossface.


Here is an excerpt from the press release:


 "Crossface", a biographical thriller, delves into the pressures WWE superstar Chris Benoit faced throughout his wrestling career as the combination of drug-use, depression, and head trauma became increasingly impossible for him to handle. The true story made headline news in 2007 when Chris murdered his wife and young son before taking his own life. 


SRG is currently in talks with directors and actors and hope to start production in 2012.
