Growing up most of us watched wrestling. It is like watching superheroes in real life, but some never grow out of the squared circle awesomeness. That is why films like No Hold Barred, Body Slam and The Wrestler, the 1974 edition and the 2008 edition are so popular. In 2000, WCW lent many of their wrestlers to the film Ready to Rumble. That film was a buddy comedy about hardcore wrestling fans. Fast forward 25 years later and co-writer and director Rob Taylor...

Now in its third edition, Content Americas, the Miami-based event aimed at the Latin and Hispanic markets, with telenovelas, series, documentaries, and formats, continues to try to bridge the gap between creative communities in Latin America, Spain and Portugal and the larger global scene. One of its key initiatives is the Copro Pitch, aimed at facilitating international co-production deals and featuring projects from Caponeto-Fremantle, Vertice 360, and Druzina Content this year.

Selected from more than 60 submissions, the five projects at the Copro Pitch 2025 span a wide range of subjects and genres. Argentina’s Listos Para Rodar arrives in Miami with a documentary series on the mental and physical toll of being a professional athlete in “Insane” while its neighboring country of Brazil bets on the potential of a high-concept sci-fi franchise with Bactéria Filmes and Druzina Content’s “Tales of Tomorrow: Prelude to a Revolution” and the modern Western with Cinefilm’s “The Guardians.

Rhobh alum, Denise Richards admits that her family feared for her Special Forces adventure. She joined the Season 3 cast but not everyone in her life was supportive of her journey. So, what were they so scared of? Keep reading for more details.

Denise Richards’ Family Feared Her Special Forces Adventure

It is not a novel idea for Denise Richards to be on reality television. She had her own reality series from 2008 to 2009 on E! which followed her journey as a single parent. Denise’s father moved in with her and her two daughters, Sami and Lola. She then joined the cast of the Rhobh in Season 9 and was very chill her first year. Her wedding to Aaron Phypers was even documented and she shared what it was like to raise a child with special needs. More so, she opened up about being a working mother and having Charlie Sheen as her ex.

Sometime in the 2000s, comedian Eddie Murphy began experiencing a career slump that, quite sadly, would remain with him for years. Ron Underwood's 2002 sci-fi comedy "The Adventures of Pluto Nash" was a notorious bomb, making only $7.1 million on a $100 million budget. Murphy's cinematic update of "I Spy" from the same year also lost money, and Murphy turned to making mediocre but popular kiddie flicks like "The Haunted Mansion" and "Daddy Day Care" to make ends meet.

In 2006, Murphy received an Academy Award nomination for his performance in "Dreamgirls," but he immediately chased it with the universally hated "Norbit" only months later. "Norbit" made money, but no one seemed to like it. Some have even said that the presence of "Norbit" in theaters harmed Murphy's chance of winning an Oscar that year. He lost to Alan Arkin in "Little Miss Sunshine."

Murphy's next few films were all panned by critics,...

Call him Sid Vicious, call him Sid Justice, call him Sycho Sid, but whatever name you prefer for the former WWE and WCW Champion, he must be called undeniably impactful in his craft. His impact on the industry was felt all the more when the world he ruled stopped to mourn Sid Eudy at age 63 following a battle with cancer.

As those in and out of the wrestling business contemplate the most respectful ways to honor The Master and the Ruler of the World, one no-brainer way to do so would be to induct him into the WWE Hall of Fame. While the legitimacy of the WWE Hall of Fame has been a topic of divisive conversation within the wrestling community, it is nonetheless a prompt way to preserve memories of wrestlers from the past in a way that allows the future generation to learn about them, all while honoring their names.

Pro wrestling superstar Sid Eudy, whose run in the business included a stint as the villainous Sycho Sid in WWE's "Attitude Era," has passed away.

On social media, Sid's son, Gunnar Eudy, announced that his father has died. As Gunnar noted in the announcement, Eudy's death comes after the retired wrestler had been living with cancer for years. He was 63 years old.

"Dear friends and family," Gunnar's statement reads in part. "I am deeply saddened to share that my father, Sid Eudy, has passed away after battling cancer for several years. He was a man of strength, kindness, and love, and his presence will be greatly missed. We appreciate your thoughts and prayers as we grieve this loss. Details for a memorial service will be shared soon. Thank you for your support."

Eudy was born on Dec. 16, 1960. After meeting pro wrestlers Randy Savage and Lanny Poffo, Eudy was inspired...

The Bear is an ongoing dramedy series that focuses on a struggling restaurant and its crew of ragtag cooks.

Carmy Berzatto, a big-time fancy chef who returned to Chicago to take over his deceased brother's business, heads up The Bear, formerly The Beef.

The Bear appeared on FX and Hulu in 2022, with The Bear Season 3 available for streaming on Hulu as of June 27, 2024.

If you think some of the faces seem familiar, you're probably right.

Late pro wrestling legend Randy Savage had kind things to say about Bruce Campbell after working with the actor in Spider-Man. With the clip resurfacing on social media, Campbell paid back the kindness.

In Sam Raimi's first Spider-Man movie, which introduced Tobey Maguire in the titular role, Campbell appeared as a pro wrestling organization's ring announcer. Savage also had a guest role as Bonesaw McGraw, a pro wrestler who Maguire's Peter Parker must fight in the ring. A resurfaced clip on X saw Savage praising Campbell before bestowing him the pro-wrestling-like nickname of "Beautiful" Bruce Campbell. After watching the clip on X, Campbell said he felt the same way about the one they call the "Macho Man."

You were beautiful too, Randy. https://t.co/diOwDtIbBY Bruce Campbell (@GroovyBruce) June 23, 2024

2002's Spider-Man became a cultural phenomenon and changed comic book movies forever.

Professional wrestler John Cena is a 16-time WWE champion and is regarded as one of the best to ever step in the ring. In between title matches, he has also exerted dominance at the box office, appearing in some of the biggest blockbusters over the past 20 years. He has also established himself as a solid leading man, starring in some truly entertaining movies.

Cena has the grumpiest resting-scowl face in the business, but also a mile-wide smile that can defuse any situation, which reflects his range as an actor. Equally competent in tense dramas and action films as he is with wacky comedies, he can pull off any role with precision. Most of all, he is an extremely likable person, so even when he's cast as a villain, it's hard not to adore him.

The late 1990s and early 2000s were a weird era for films. There is definitely an influence from Y2K, and it seemed like there was an attitude that anything goes from some and a tightening of the belt from others. The world was in an odd place, and this influenced everything in culture like music, television, and films. 2002 gave us a wide variety of horror, like Queen of the Damned, Fear Dot Com, Cabin Fever, Bubba Ho-Tep, Dog Soldiers, and Bloody Mallory. This was the end of an era and the start of another for David Arquette it seemed. A time when he tested the “leading man” waters. Unfortunately, it didn’t quite go as planned as box office bomb after box office bomb came. Films like Ravenous, Ready to Rumble, 3000 Miles to Graceland, See Spot Run, and The Grey Zone all featured Arquette in some form but...

This review contains spoilers for "The Iron Claw."

The world of professional wrestling is filled with enough tragedy to constitute its own dedicated documentary series about it, but there has never been a story of familial annihilation quite like the Von Erichs. Often compared to the Kennedy family, the Von Erichs were/are a dynasty of wrestling superstars and the subject of unimaginable despair. Telling their story outside of a documentary setting seems an impossible task, but Sean Durkin has done the impossible with "The Iron Claw." While marketed as a biopic, "The Iron Claw" is more like a dramatic retelling of the Von Erich story — a legend retold blow by blow and presented as if it were modern folklore. And yet despite the creative liberties taken — including a glaring omission (more on that later) — "The Iron Claw" is the type of drama that makes a home in the darkest...

The 1990s were the heyday for kid-led sports movies, with films like "The Big Green," "The Sandlot," "Little Giants," "Ladybugs," "Air Bud," "Little Big League," "Angels in the Outfield," and "Rookie of the Year" becoming household favorites, but only one* became a certified cultural phenomenon.

Frank Zappa, who died in 1993, is one of the least understood artists of the 20th Century, which is ironic because he was also the most prolific. Introduced to the world as a bicycle-playing artiste concrète sitting naked on a toilet, he was a harmonic genius who experimented with sonic assault weapons and visual subversions. Frank Zappa was the Nikola Tesla of music. Alex Winter’s documentary Zappa, which is now available to watch in the UK and Ireland on Altitude.film, clarifies many of the contradictions by highlighting Zappa’s primary focus. The Mothers of Invention bandleader was a composer.

As such, Frank was also a cultural ambassador, a hero of free expression, a hysterical satirist, and a guitar virtuoso. He was celebrated in the Czech Republic after the Velvet Revolution, and castigated by parental control mongers in America. But even Frank knew his rep enough to drop an album...

This odd, documentary-style version of how the US actor became a wrestler is strained at the seams

Here is the strange, frantic, semi-explained story of the Hollywood star David Arquette, a member of the renowned Arquette acting clan, and his recent attempts to reverse a celebrity career slump by making it as a professional wrestler, 20 years after he actually won America’s World Championship Wrestling belt in 2000 as a weird byproduct of being in the wrestling movie Ready to Rumble. Apparently, the organisers found him sufficiently impressive to let him participate in the actual event’s “storylines” and even fluke a victory – although the backstage discussions around that are never revealed here. The wrestling world has form in letting celebs have a go (Donald Trump has done many WWE stunts) but the pure silliness and improbability of it all enraged diehard wrestling fans, who felt Arquette contaminated the brand. Well,...

If you had of told me a week ago that a documentary about Deputy Dewey from the Scream movies was something I needed in my life right now, I would of called you a damn fool. I you had told me that a documentary about that actor who tried to be a wrestler for five minutes would take me on a rollercoaster of emotions – and I mean the full spectrum of human feeling: the highs, the lows and everything in between – well again I would of scoffed at you.

However I am somewhat of a wrestling fan… I am somewhat of a David Arquette fan… Also at the best of times if there is one thing us Brits cant get enough of is a bloody good redemption story and at our worst we love good car crash...

This article is presented by superLTD. You Cannot Kill David Arquette is an exacting, shockingly intimate look at the wild, wild life of David Arquette. He's a professional actor whom you know from the Scream franchise, yes. But he's also a literal world wrestling champion, in a WCW move made to promote Arquette's 2000 comedy Ready to Rumble — a move that turned wrestling fans rapidly against him, made him the laughingstock of an entire community, and exacerbated his decline into darkness and semi-obscurity. The documentary covers Arquette's return to the world of wrestling, his attempts …...

Can you trust a documentary that’s set in the world of professional wrestling, where the action is scripted and the storylines are phony?

Can you believe what you see in a nonfiction film about an actor who has always to some degree approached his career like an extended piece of performance art?

And if you don’t trust it and you can’t believe it, can you still be entertained and maybe even touched by “You Cannot Kill David Arquette?”

I’d say the answers to those questions are no, no and hell, yeah.

A documentary that sends up more red flags than a Maga rally, “You Cannot Kill David Arquette” is nonetheless a robust (albeit bloody) piece of entertainment. And it’s also a character study of a guy who...

Actor David Arquette — who once posed on the cover of Vanity Fair alongside Leonardo DiCaprio, Matthew McConaughey, and the rest of 1996’s hottest leading men before the “Scream” franchise left him typecast as a terminal doofus — is just kind of sick of being a joke. “I’m just kind of sick of being a joke,” the now-48-year-old laments at one point in his new documentary while dressed in nothing but a rhinestone cape and vaping on the back of a pony in his backyard. It’s a funny moment in a movie full of good-natured howlers, but Arquette isn’t kidding. On the contrary, he’s willing to die for a little respect. And he just might have to in order to earn the kind of respect he’s looking for.

It all started when Arquette partnered with World Championship Wrestling to promote his goofy 2000 comedy “Ready to Rumble.

In 2000, David Arquette, coming off “Never Been Kissed” and the third “Scream” film, co-starred in a comedy called “Ready to Rumble,” which attempted to satirize the hyperbolic freak show of professional wrestling. To promote the movie, Arquette got woven into World Championship Wrestling storylines, mostly as a comic foil — after all, he wasn’t a real wrestler. But a few weeks into the film’s release, in a setup bogus enough to shame Andy Kaufman, it was arranged that Arquette would win a fight to become the WCW Heavyweight Champion. Which he did (his reign lasted all of 12 days).

This was a stunt so outlandish that wrestling fans considered it a bridge of fakery too far. Some said that Arquette’s championship had ruined the sport. So even though Arquette, a wrestling aficionado from way back, was just riding the cross-promotional PR train and doing what he’d been told,...

Before I start this review, I feel like I should go ahead and just admit a few things. One, I am a ridiculously huge fan of David Arquette and his work, which includes his performances in the Scream series to Ready to Rumble to his directorial effort on The Tripper and everything in between. And two, I’m one of the few people out there who was actually excited when he was working in WCW. With that in mind, I was already totally and completely on board for You Cannot Kill David Arquette before I even saw a single minute of footage. But now that I have had the opportunity to check out this all-encompassing project from directors David Darg and Price James, You Cannot Kill David Arquette quickly has become not only my favorite documentary of 2020, but one of my favorite films, regardless of category, of the year as well.

If you’re a fan of pro-wrestling, you’re probably familiar with the time actor David Arquette (Scream) was part of the 2000 WCW season. During the Slamboree pay-per-view event, he even became the world heavyweight champion. The entire scenario was created to promote his new film at the time, Ready to Rumble, which saw two diehard wrestling fans help their long time hero return to glory after he’s unceremoniously ousted from their beloved wrestling franchise. Much like his character of Gordie Boggs in that 20-year-old film, wrestling fans can be overly passionate, and Arquette’s claim to the championship belt was met with hatred and disgust by the public.

And yet since childhood, Arquette himself has been a passionate pro-wrestling fan, and spent 18 years shrouded in shame from what was meant to be a simple promotional tool. He knew what went wrong, and he wanted to fix it. So,...

From Benny in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Dewey Riley in the Scream movies to Rob Geller in Never Been Kissed and Chris McCormick in Eight Legged Freaks, David Arquette has played many unique roles in his career, but his most memorable onscreen appearance may come as himself in You Cannot Kill David Arquette.

On this special episode of Corpse Club, Heather Wixson is joined by special guest Arquette to discuss the new documentary, which chronicles his return to professional wrestling, his quest for redemption following his divisive WCW World Heavyweight Championship win in 2000, and his undying passion for the professional sport.

Arquette also reflects on working with Martin Landau in the wrestling movie Ready to Rumble, talks about his life-threatening Gwc deathmatch with Nick Gage, and discusses his anticipated return to the role of Dewey Riley in Scream 5, the first movie in the franchise to not be directed by the late,...

“You Cannot Kill David Arquette,” the upcoming SXSW-selected documentary about the wrestler and actor, has dropped its official trailer and set a release date.

Here’s the documentary’s synopsis:

Branded as the most hated man in wrestling after winning a highly controversial WCW World Heavyweight Championship in 2000, actor David Arquette attempts a rocky return to the sport that stalled his promising Hollywood career. Dangerously determined to redeem his reputation and reclaim his self-respect, Arquette will stop at nothing to earn his place in professional wrestling.

The documentary’s trailer promises a candid and inside look at Arquette’s career arc and efforts to return to wrestling, as well as a handful of laugh-out-loud moments. “You Cannot Kill David Arquette” will premiere August 28 via digital release and on-demand. The documentary will also open in drive-in theaters August 21.

“You Cannot Kill David Arquette” was directed by David Darg and Price James over a three-year period.

20 years ago, David Arquette was crowned the World Heavyweight Champion. Okay — it was just as a marketing stunt to promote his film “Ready to Rumble,” in which he starred as a wrestling-obsessed fan. But that stunt earned him the unofficial title of the most hated man in professional wrestling. Two decades later, Arquette is setting out to clear his name with the documentary, “You Cannot Kill David Arquette.”

David Arquette made an unlikely return to professional wrestling last year, and a documentary about his comeback is in the works called “You Cannot Kill David Arquette,” the film’s production company Xtr announced Thursday.

Arquette learned some basic wrestling moves back for his 2000 film “Ready to Rumble,” and at the time, he was even crowned a world champion from World Championship Wrestling as part of a marketing stunt. He became a perfect villain in the sport, and now nearly two decades later, he made the real wrestling circuit and competed in 19 different professional matches, some of which even left him bloodied as seen in this video.

A change of pace from the usual action-driven output from WWE studios, “Fighting With My Family” at times more closely brings to mind 2000’s guilty-pleasure comedy “Ready to Rumble,” one of the few filmmaking ventures by the wrestling conglomerate’s then-rival WCW. The current film has some of the same crotch-kick-level humor, and much of the same shameless brand self-promotion, if regrettably none of David Arquette’s inimitable spazardry. But there’s less guilt in this pleasure — in fact, it’s probably the best of the 50-odd movies WWE has produced since 2002’s “The Scorpion King,” which starred this film’s producer, Dwayne Johnson, who steps briefly into the action here.

Many believed David Arquette was done with wrestling after an insane deathmatch this past November left him bloodied and beaten. Now, the actor-turned-wrestler has signed up for his next gig in the ring, and it sounds like it has the potential to be insanely watchable.

Arquette appeared at a news conference on Friday night to hype up his next big match, which will put him up against the burly veteran pro wrestler known as Jocephus. They will be putting it all on the line in what is being called a 'hair match'. They pair will be battling under the National Wrestling Alliance banner. The stakes are that who ever loses this intense bout will have to shave their head clean.

That sounds a little better than succumbing to death from fixture beatings. Believe it or not, former Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan is the Nwa President. And he was on hand during the press conference,...

David Arquette said his gruesome, bloody injury from Friday night’s wrestling “death match” was because of his “lack of experience.”

“Don’t try this at home,” the actor/producer wrote in a Twitter message on Monday.

Arquette climbed in the ring on Friday night at GCW’s Joey Janela’s L.A. Confidential with Combat Zone Wrestling World Heavyweight Champion Nick Gage, who hit him over the head with a light-bulb tube. The glass shattered, with a shard cutting into Arquette’s neck, which began to bleed profusely.

David Arquette took on Nick Gage in a hardcore wresting death match, which left the actor with a bloodied face. Back in September, the 47-year old actor revealed that he was making a return to the world of wrestling for a comeback, to take on the trolls. However, this time around he was going the indie route and taking on Gage for a death match that involved numerous props, including a pizza slicer and light tubes, which caused much of Arquette's bleeding. After the fight was over, Arquette left the ring, only to return pretty heated.

Graphic video of the death match between David Arquette and Nick Gage has found its way online. After the fight, the actor can be seen clutching his neck, realizing that he was injured pretty badly. Arquette could be seen with shards of glass lodged in his skin from the light tubes with blood gushing out.

If you think there are no second acts in American life, just look to David Arquette. The actor, best known for his role in the Scream Franchise, has made a name for himself in recent months as a professional wrestler traversing the independent circuit, which might come as a surprise to anyone who never saw Ready to Rumble. Arquette starred in the 2000 pro-wrestling comedy at around the same time he implausibly became WCW World Heavyweight Champion, an ill-advised development that has often been cited as a death knell for the now-defunct company.

Sheena, now a world-famous athlete, has been dubbed “the Lindsay Lohan of the wrestling world”.
