A biographical movie about Vince McMahon’s life, titled “Pandemonium” has been given the green light by TriStar Pictures, according to Deadline. As of now, TriStar has picked up the screenplay and two directors have signed on.
WWE Studios is reportedly involved. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the script did not originally have the blessing of Vince McMahon or WWE when it was being shopped around last year, leading many studios to pass because they didn’t want to anger WWE. However, the producer has now apparently “secured McMahon’s life rights” and WWE Studios will be involved.
Pandemonium first hit the Hollywood mat last summer but studios hesitated. While the script scored high points, WWE and McMahon had not blessed it and companies didn’t want to antagonize a powerful entity. When Lazar secured McMahon’s life rights, the package in recent weeks made the rounds again and studios were ready to rumble. Multiple parties were interested but sources say that TriStar went all out in their pitch (even decorating their offices with WWE regalia).
The movie will be directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa and the screenplay was written by Craig A. Williams.
