WWE Hall of Famer Sgt. Slaughter revealed the a live-action
movie based on his fictional military character is currently
in the works.
“It is something that I’ve visualized & worked tirelessly,
to have one day, arrive to the paramount, the silver
screen,” Slaughter wrote in a post on Facebook.
Slaughter also posted a teaser scene from the movie, adding
that he hopes people will stand by him as they have
throughout his career and asked for fans to share it and
leave a comment.
“This means more to me, than you will ever know,” Slaughter
continued.
The synopsis of the movie in the YouTube teaser reads, “In
1983, a reckless but lethal drill instructor — haunted by
the battles he fought in Cambodia in 1978 — is stripped of
his combat role and exiled to a forgotten backwater. Then a
hostage crisis on Diablo Island forces his government to
admit what they already know: some problems can only be
solved by a man who doesn’t follow the rules.”
The movie is tentatively titled SLAUGHTER: The Origin Story.
