The highly-coveted movie script that promises to chronicle the life and career of Mr.McMahon has been circulating all around the Hollywood market since last summer. However, most studios, despite liking the script, initially hesitated to bid for it as the WWE and McMahon himself had not given their blessings for Tinseltown to go forward with it. Nevertheless, WWE has now given the project the green signal, with the aforementioned Andrew Lazar acquiring Vince McMahon’s life rights.
The Pandemonium script hit the Hollywood market once again a few weeks back and given the fact that it now has McMahon’s go-ahead, several movie studios chimed in with their bids. Regardless, TriStar is reported to have bid the highest, even going as far as decorating their offices with WWE paraphernalia.
Sportskeeda will keep the WWE Universe updated on the highly-touted Vince McMahon biopic- aptly named ‘Pandemonium’- as and when more details are revealed in the weeks to come.
