Vince McMahon keeps trying to gets his hands into other areas of entertainment. A few years back he teamed with NBC to bring us the glorious failure that was the XFL, the extreme football that was meant to compete with the NFL. That did result in one good thing, the enhanced camera work, which has made the NFL the most dynamically shot of the major pro-team sports.
His latest foray is into the world of filmmaking. He eased himself in by gaining executive producer credits with the films that The Rock appeared in, such as Rundown, Scorpion King, and Walking Tall. Now he has gone and formed WWE Films, with which he plans to make films around various wrestlers. So far two films have been made, the first one is still seeking a distributor. That one is called The Marine, and it stars current WWE Champion, John Cena. The second one is, of course, See No Evil, starring the Big Red Machine, Kane (aka Glen Jacobs).The film is being released through Lionsgate Films this May.
See No Evil stars Glen Jacobs as Jacob Goodnight, as, what else? a serial killer. Jacob has taken up residence in an old abandoned hotel. One fateful day, a police officer escorts eight criminals to the hotel for community service work. Little do they now the terror that awaits them, as Jacob locks them in and starts to hunt them down. Not to mention the connection between the cop and the killer.
This is the perfect role for Glen to break on to the big screen. The man is huge, at around 6'10" 350 lbs, and he look has an imposing look that could very easily intimidate a person. The rest of the cast is made up by unknowns; most seem to have experience, but I do not recognize any of the names. It was directed by Gregory Dark, who has spent most of his career in the world of adult films. Lastly, it was written by Dan Madigan, who is a member of the WWE: Smackdown writing staff.
