I hear James Cameron is taking the director's helm for this one. The special effects budget will be unmatched, especially when you consider the advanced CGI techniques required to emulate Nicky's blinding speed and defense.
The reviews are a positive sign. Good cast, for sure. What I find even more intriguing is that it all takes place before the Gatti/Ward trilogy, so they're not even using that angle to augment the storyline.
This baffles the **** out of me, mate. "We're going to make a dramatic biopic and cut out some of the most dramatic parts of the subject's life." :!: atsch :huh
