Mickey Rourke is The Wrestler
So how many comebacks does Mickey Rourke get? I've heard a lot of good stuff about this movie and was totally sold when I saw a still in EW a few weeks back. Now the trailer is up and it looks great. Just perfect casting. Sort of reminds me of Beyond the Mat. Looks like he has a Jake "The Snake" Roberts thing going on. I know at least one of us will be seeing this movie...

I got two things out of the trailer. First, it looks like it's going to be a very good film. Second, Rourke looks like he's wearing a skin mask reminiscent of Hannibal Lecter's escape scene in Silence of the Lambs.
His face is definitely jacked-up. That's also an original Springsteen track in the trailer. I couldn't place it at first, then I read that it's new and called "The Wrestler." Who knew?
I tried to find the Springsteen track and the best I could do was find a bootleg recorded at one of the movie screenings. Apparently it plays during the credits.
