Starring: Mick Foley & Jake Roberts

Release: TBC

Quite apart from the usual action movies starring wrestlers, The Peanut Butter Falcon looks like one for the sentimentalists out there. It's the story of a young man with Down syndrome who runs away looking to follow his dream and become a professional wrestler.

Shia Labeouf and Bruce Dern star alongside the aspiring wrassler Zak (played by Zachary Gottsagen), with support from the likes of John Hawkes, Jon Bernthal and Thomas Haden Church, so it's a fairly remarkable cast all round. And on top of that, we'll get to see legends Mick Foley and Jake Roberts turn up.

It's definitely an important story and one that should resonate with the modern wrestling audience. Let's just hope it matches its promise.
