"The Grey" director Joe Carnahan jumped in, telling Neeson: "I can't see you doing that dude [McMahon]." Neeson added: "No, I never heard of [the movie]." The actor went on to say that he has no interest in the role, mostly because he knows very little about McMahon, almost nothing about Benoit, and is not a fan of wrestling.
"Crossface" was announced early December. Casting is currently underway with plans of going into production during the fall of this year.
