SRG Films has bought the rights to Matthew Randazzo's book "Ring of Hell: The Story of Chris Benoit and the Fall of the Pro Wrestling Industry." Sarah Coulter has written the first of the script which is scheduled to begin filming in late 2012. Talks are underway with potential actors and directors.

Powell's POV: I assumed the story would eventually be told in movie form, and I suppose I should have assumed that Hollywood would use the most controversial and arguably the sleaziest book written on the tragedy to tell the story.
