Starting today Fox searchlight is sending out its first trailer for ‘The Wrestler’ Their mission: to make filmgoers want to see a movie that looks very male. Mickey Rourke plays a down-on-his-luck, aging wrestler facing the end of his career who suddenly needs to reach out to his daughter, poignantly played by Evan Rachel Wood, and a stripper pal, Marisa Tomei.
How much of this do I really care about? – Not much, but I do care about the Springsteen track being played in the background of the trailer. I heard the track about 2 months ago, cracking stuff, watch the trailer and listen to the song.
This song ‘The Wrestler’ will appear as a bonus track on the new Springsteen album ‘Working On A Dream’, released in January ‘09.
