THE UNDERTAKER MOVIE

Awhile ago, there were reports that WWE was planning to do an Undertaker movie. Not an autobiography of Mark Calaway, and not directly of the WWE Hall Of Famer (matter of when, not if) we've seen in the ring. It would be a movie simply about The Undertaker with the Hollywood touch of scripts, action sequences, special effects, etc.

Everyone has their own opinions on how they would go about this and would like to see in the film. Personally, it would be a cross between The Crow, Fight Club and a Western movie, with added sci-fi vibes to the script and presentation. I don't think I would have guns really, but a lot of hand to hand combat. With a majority of Undertakers move sets involved in the fight scenes with twists of course. Imagine an enemy laying off the edge of a building or something, Taker does the classic leg drop. Except this time there is obviously no apron, but he does the move and actually decapitates the person before vanishing into a cloud of smoke in midair. I would also consider having Kane be involved as well. Now that I think of it, he could play the roll of the main instigator, or the muscle of the main villain. Can show a flashback of Takers home being burned to the ground, his family inside. Only to have this monster return later. Not far from what they did in WWE, but with a major Hollywood upgrade.
I don't know if I would have Undertaker (Mark Calaway) play himself or have a hunt for someone who looks like him and can actually act. If it were done a few years ago, or made right now? The real Deadman for sure. As of right now he could do most of the work himself, and if need be, make him younger looking via however they do it haha

As for how I end it. Remember then ending of Conan The Conqueror? With Arnold as an aged King? That is when the Taker we see today appears sans young effects, or the real Undertaker will appear if we used another actor.

It is of course likely to "never" get made, or will be at least a few years from now. However, that doesn't mean it shouldn't. Undertaker is one of the few characters from over the years that you wouldn't necessarily need to make a "wrestling" movie. Till next time, stay Nerdy!
