Upcoming Movie Trailer - Warrior

Due out in UK cinemas September 23rd 2011 is mixed martial arts movie Warrior.  The sport has gained a massive following in the last few years with the UFC being the front runner in the sport, we should have known that it was just a matter of time before we saw a movie about it.

From director Gavin O'Connor the movie stars Tom Hardy, Nick Nolte and Joel Edgerton.  Nolte plays the father who has tore his family apart due to his alcoholism, his oldest son played by Edgerton is already an MMA fighter and he welcomes back his youngest Tom Hardy back to the family home.  Notle then trains his son to compeat in a MMA competition putting him on a collision course with his older brother.

Tom Hardy had to put on 28 pounds of muscle for this movie keeping himself to a tight work out schedule.  The actor has recently starred in Inception with Leanardo Di Caprio and you will see him starring alonside Christian Bale in upcoming movie The Dark Knight Rises.  Hardy counterpart Edgerton will be best known for his role in King Arthur and Star Wars Episodes II and III, where he played Owen Lars stepbrother of Anakin Skywalker and uncle to Luke.

The movie looks quite promising and put me in the mind of the Fighter starring Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale, a couple of real MMA fighter will star in the movie along with pro Wrestler Kurt Angle.
