It was a few months ago when a film was confirmed that would be made based on Vince McMahon’s life.
The movie called Pandemonium will be on the floors soon. Sony TriStar Pictures will produce the film with John Requa and Glen Ficarra. WWE production will be a major part of the movie, as well.
The script was sent to Vince McMahon himself who held it back for a few days. But, after a short delay, he approved it to seal the deal. Ever since then, WWE Studios and the Boss are busy to give it a final touch to the script. At the time of this writing, the script will be undergoing a series of changes before going to the floor.
The veteran actor Hugh Jackman of the Wolverine fame has been approached for this role. Hugh has been part of Monday Night Raw on several occasions while promoting his films. So, he is the one on good terms with the company. No finalisation was made in this deal, as of late.

Recently, a portion of the script is said to be leaked, and Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com was able to come up with those alleged ones. The leaked storyline says a story back in the time of seventies. Linda McMahon used to work as a waitress in a stripper club.
At this time, she became pregnant. Most probably she was due with Shane McMahon, the elder child of them. Vince McMahon learned about it and wanted Linda not to work anymore. The owner of the club was unwilling to release Linda from her post. As a result, Vince had to beat him down.
This sequence is said to be the opening scene of the movie. Apart from this one, also some major outline from the segments were disclosed like the ‘Mr. McMahon’ character getting introduced in a limousine after a steroid trial. It was the same trial after which Sr. McMahon passed away before Wrestlemania 1.

The film will also reveal Vince McMahon is picking up talents as only he could have. He picked up guys like Roddy Piper from Jail, Junkyard Dog from a Construction site, Jimmy Snuka from his porn acting profession.
Apart from these, there will be a certain hint of his daughter allegedly caught in a relationship with Randy Savage in her younger days. There would be a scene where Shane and Stephanie getting mocked during their trials by classmates forcing them to beat down their pals.
As stated above, this film is going to be interesting. After all, there is no character as colourful as Vince McMahon.
