Rourke is New Wrestler
Sin City star Micky Rourke is set to replace Nicholas Cage in Darren Aronofsky’s upcoming project The Wrestler.
According to Variety, Rourke will take Cage’s role of Randy ‘The Ram’ Robinson, an over-the-hill wrestler who returns to the ring one last time to face his nemesis, ‘The Ayatollah’.
It’s not clear why Cage has left the production, but Rourke is certainly qualified for the role – he had plenty of practice grappling when he was a professional boxer in the 1980s.
Aronofsky, whose last film The Fountain polarised critics, will begin shooting The Wrestler in January.

Sounds like this was a good casting decision. Just heard a report on the radio about Rourke winning some international award for this role.
