Wrestling themed drama/comedy film RhumbleRama is coming this year and features Brother Devon, Gene Snisky, Thrasher and Lloyd Anoa’i, as well as independent talent JD Knight mixing it up with an impressive cast of UK and International talent. The movie is Written and Directed by Andrew Roger Carson and produced by Robert Latham Brown (Spiderman, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Starship Troopers, Ali) and Rainer Soehnlein (Spaceballs: the Animated Series, Happily N’Ever After) and is set to be filmed in the UK in Manchester this summer. The project came about when unemployed filmmaker Andrew Roger Carson suddenly found himself invited to Hollywood by the Estevez/Sheen family after 3 months of promoting his motion picture idea online. From there he was picked up by Mel Brooks associates Robert Latham Brown and Rainer Soehnlein and scored distribution through GFM Films in the UK.
Synopsis:
When the play he’s performing in closes, Jeff, a struggling actor in his 30s, is unable to afford tickets to a large wrestling event he has promised to his young son. Jeff’s equally unemployed friend Arran says he can get him the tickets at a cut rate. The tickets turn out to be fake, and Jeff’s son Mike, misses out on seeing his biggest hero when they are denied admission.
After disappointing his son and confirming the low opinion of him held by Shelley, his ex-wife, Jeff resolves to create his own wrestling show and gets Arran to help him out. They collect a wide variety of performers, but no real wrestlers. Nevertheless, they train hard to be ready. On the lackluster opening night, Jeff thinks the idea has failed until a video of the show goes viral and they become an overnight smash.
