Dwayne Johnson embodies MMA icon and UFC champion Mark Kerr in The Smashing Machine, with A24’s new trailer giving the very best look we have seen but of the Quick and Livid Hollywood star and WWE legend in his much-anticipated position.
Written and directed by Uncut Gems‘ Benny Safdie, The Smashing Machine tracks Kerr’s profession of tournaments and championships underpinned by private turbulence. The trailer focuses on Kerr’s relationship along with his then-wife Daybreak Staples, performed by Emily Blunt, and his expertise with substance abuse, all set to a dramatic model of Phil Collins’ “In opposition to All Odds.”
Simply from the 2 minutes of this trailer, it appears audiences are in for just a few rounds of emotional upheaval with The Smashing Machine.
The Smashing Machine premiered on the Venice Worldwide Movie Competition forward of its theatrical debut on Oct. 3.
