In a recent conversation with WFAN, WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle revealed that a biopic focusing on his 1996 Olympic gold medal triumph is currently in development. Angle expressed great pride in the project, which narrates the journey of a youngster from Pittsburgh overcoming numerous challenges, including a neck injury, to achieve the Olympic gold. He clarified that the movie would strictly focus on his Olympic career and not his professional wrestling stint. Directors Ian and Eshom Nelms aim to create a narrative with similarities to ‘Rocky’, ‘The Fighter’ and ‘Iron Claw’. Angle, who will be involved behind the scenes, anticipates the global release. The script for the movie is complete, and the team is currently seeking investors and selecting the cast.
