WWE Studios have signed Academy Award-nominated actor Ed Harris and wife Amy Madigan as part of the cast for the family drama Big Red, reports Variety.com.
The movie is set in the mid-1960s and Harris will assume the role of a teacher who pairs a student bully with a bright student. Randy Orton will star as the father of the bully who campaigns to have Harris's character fired.
Variety notes that WWE's new casting strategy is to surround the wrestlers with established actors rather than have the wrestlers attempt to carry the movie.
I so, so want this movie to be good. I'm so, so worried it won't be. I'm excited at the opportunity to see Orton in a movie, but... I think drama was the wrong way to go. The addition of Ed Harris just goes to show that this is haaaaard on the Drama.
