THE SMASHING MACHINE Gets A Buzzworthy Official Trailer
Right about now you’re either very curious or freaking out over actor Dwayne Johnson’s recent weight loss, to which he responded that the move is geared toward prep for another film role. Invariably, it makes sense as the actor has been visibly stepping away from roles that he says has had him pigeonholed during his career, in an effort toward more character-focused films and projects like The Smashing Machine, which just bowed in Toronto to swarms of praise and buzz over possible Oscar contention.
The Benny Safdie-directed biopictoral MMA drama centers on the life and travails of UFC and Pride titlist Mark Kerr and his struggle with an opioid addiction that affected his career, as well as his relationship with Dawn Staples, played by Emily Blunt. A24 is readying an October 3 theatrical release which is now accommodated by an official trailer which you can now view below.
