> We noted before that German director Lexi Alexander will be directing the "Crossface" biopic on Chris Benoit and the 2007 murder-suicide. The movie will be produced by Alex A. Ginzburg and Tony Lee of "Let It Play" and executive produced by Ram Getz and Matthew Randazzo V. Jake Goldberger and Sarah Coulter will write the script that is based on Randazzo's "Ring of Hell: The Story of Chris Benoit & the Fall of the Pro Wrestling Industry" book.
> According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter via someone who was once involved with the movie, it was originally going to be loosely based on Irv Muchnick's book about the murders but negotiations fell apart and now it will be loosely based on Randazzo's book.
> Industry giant William Morris Endeavor (WME), who is also involved with the movie, has insisted that the film have scenes to open up speculation that former WCW booker Kevin Sullivan had something to do with the murders, which has been a conspiracy theory for years.
> WME also suggested that they have late wrestler Johnny Grunge, perhaps scripted as Benoit's best friend, be the one who found Eddie Guerrero's body in his hotel room after a WWE WrestleMania event at Madison Square Garden. In reality, Eddie's body was found by his nephew Chavo Guerrero before a TV taping in Minnesota.
> Another crazy idea proposed to be included in the movie is one where Sullivan broke into Benoit's house, to add to the speculation that he was involved.
> The original writer Richard O'Sullivan claimed he left the project because he refused to write the Sullivan speculation into the film.
> While the script hasn't been finalized, those still close to the movie say the producers want sullivan conspiracy to be presented as a strong backstory in the movie. The story itself however will be based on the real story of benoit, his family, and his wrestling journey.

> Regarding the cast, Michael Hall was once suggested to play Benoit but his rep said he didn't want to play a killer and be typecast.
> Kellen Lutz and Liam McIntyre were also discussed for the Benoit role but that's been a while back.
> There were also rumors of Liev Schreiber playing Benoit but those were nixed.
> WWE is reportedly not happy with the idea of the movie being made.
> It's believed the movie will feature drugs, steroids or others, along with CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy).

Micheal C Hall would have been a good choice. Not sure if they are going to get anyone better than that.

He was pretty good in 6 feet under. I think the main issue is that not many people would want to play Benoit. I am very interested to see who gets cast.
>slandering someone who is still alive in a movie and thinking they can get away with it with a little disclaimer that says events in this film have nothing to do with real life

If you give him a little gruff on his face I think Gosling will make a convincing Benoit.
