I totally teared up, and seeing that I’m at work, not the best thing in the world. I’m sold.
wow, I have not had a trailer look that compelling in a long time, I agree with who ever said they were moved by the scene with the daughter, brought some tears…looks incredible
“The Wrestler” is the movie that should sweep up many awards…including the Oscars. What a powerful movie! Mickey Rourke, Marisa Tomei, Racel Evan Wood are a trio of actors with great acting chops!! And Darren Aronofsky is a superb director as evidenced by “Pi” and “Requiem For A Dream.” Thanks Mr. Aronofsky for casting one of the best actors around Mickey Rourke. This movie I will definitely see and tell my friends to see. I hope only great things come the movie’s way!
Wow, I almost didn’t watch this as I have zero interest in a wrestling movie. But the movie looks amazing. I can’t wait for it to come out.
I hope it’s not too late to add that the article by Chris Nashawaty in EW a few weeks back was some of the best writing I’ve read in a very long time. I was really moved by it and by this trailer. I’m really happy that Mickey Rourke is making movies again (okay, movies that aren’t direct to DVD). I’ve missed him a lot and I’ll definitely go see The Wrestler. I’m actually looking forward to it, even though I normally avoid pro wrestling like a contagious disease.
Absolutely. I cannot wait for this movie. I’m a big Harry Potter fan, very much looking forward to Curious Case of Benjamin Button and several others these upcoming months, but The Wrestler? I think this is the one I am most looking forward to seeing.
This movie looks amazing, and all actors in it deserve a comeback. Besides which do you know how many wrestling fans there are in the world?

Ditto! I have that article posted at my desk at work.
In recent years, Mickey Rourke has become such an inspiration. I hope this film lives up to those critic’s quotes, because he is truly deserving of major respect in the industry. I am so excited to see this movie; moreso than most others.
It looks really good. Sorta reminds me of Rocky Balboa with a Wrestling backdrop instead of boxing. This will make for a really interesting human interest story if Rourke gets an Oscar nomination.

I remember sitting in a theater watching Johnny Handsome in 1989. Its amazing how much different Rourke looks now!

There’s something so affecting about this trailer, with the story and the Springsteen song and the emotion Rourke is conveying…wow. Beautiful.
I’ve always thought that Mickey Rourke was one of the most talented actors of my generation. “The Wrestler” seems to vindicate that feeling in a big way.
