based on a true story

Mixed martial artist, sometimes actor, and YouTube brawler Kimbo Slice may get the biopic treatment from none other than Entourage’s Kevin Connolly. Slice’s life is, admittedly, the stuff of crazy movie dreams: Born in the Bahamas, he matriculated in Florida, lived in his car after Hurricane Andrew, almost made it into the NFL, and worked as a bouncer for a porn company before finding stardom on the internet as a real-life street fighter; Connolly hopes Slice will play himself in the film, which is looking for financing. Brutal, dramatic, based on a true story… who else smells Oscar here? [The Wrap]
