Writer-director Hamish Grieve discusses "RUMBLE"
“It resonates with things in my own life and offers a new take on the classic underdog/sports movie – but in a crazy setting of kaiju [monster] films. It’s big, cinematic, and slightly goofy, but still takes itself seriously. I knew I could have a lot of fun with it and be true to the genre.”
“I grew up in England, and wrestling on English television was quite a show, featuring enormous and unfit ‘athletes'. I took a huge deep dive into wrestling, watching WrestleMania matches and endless YouTube videos. It was insane! Suddenly, I realized I was now a fan.”
“Wrestling works on so many levels including storytelling, athletics, and the ‘meta’ of turning heroes into villains; it’s almost a mythic kind of storytelling.”
“The film is really going to surprise people. It’s a feel-good family movie that has something interesting to say. It’s also fun and silly – a perfect holiday treat that will draw audiences into Winnie and Steve’s journey.”
Will Arnett discusses his character Steve
“This is a guy with a big legacy and he’s not living up to it. His self-esteem and confidence have taken a lot of hits, and it takes this teenage girl, Winnie, to convince him to believe in himself. They’re both underdogs who have these moments where they pick each other up and it’s really sweet.”
‘We watched RUMBLE together, as a family, and had an awesome time.’
Geraldine Viswanathan discusses her character Winnie Coyle
“Winnie is super-cool and strong. I loved that she had a heartfelt core and love for her late dad. She’s also very funny and a really cool heroine. Winnie lives in the world of wrestling. She needs that tomboy energy and is always sporty and very alive.”
“Winnie’s family is centered on wrestling and the city of Stoker is like one big family united by its love of wrestling. The connection between Winnie and Steve is familial – they had met as kids, and she immediately recognizes his true identity after watching him in an underground match. So, there are all kinds of familial bonds in RUMBLE.”
“Families will have a great time rooting for these underdogs. I think they’ll experience that same sense of togetherness in their homes that the characters do when they come together to experience the monster wrestling matches in the stadium.”
Terry Crews discusses his character Tentacular
“Tentacular is trying to do what he knows, and everything he can to win. Sometimes his morals get mixed up and he’s super-selfish, but as any professional athlete will tell you, you don’t win without that selfishness. Remember, even Shaquille O’Neal is a villain on an opponent’s home court.”
Stephen A. Smith who plays Marc Remy discusses RUMBLE
“Family has never been more important than it is now, and it’s never been more important for families to come together. RUMBLE gives us a reason to simile, laugh, and cheer. Any time you have something that accomplishes that, I think it’s a beautiful thing.”
