World Wrestling Entertainment issued a press release this morning announcing WWE Studios is currently filming a new film in Louisiana, Killing Karma.

Batista had been publicly announced for the lead role a few months back, but was replaced by Triple H. According to sources, Batista is furious over the change. "Batista wants to be a movie star," one source noted.

There was much discussion over the company's tour of Europe that Batista will leave WWE when his current deal expires in the summer. He's claimed to friends in recent months that he's looking to wind down his in-ring career in order to focus on acting.

WWE issued the following press release on Killing Karma…

WWE Studios' Killing Karma

STAMFORD, Conn., April 19, 2010 – WWE Studios announced today that actors Michael Rapaport ("Prison Break"), Parker Posey ("Highland Park"), Julie White ("Transformers 2"), Michael Cudlitz ("Southland") and Bruce Dern ("The Big Valley") have joined WWE Superstar Triple H ("Blade: Trinity") in the cast of the studios' upcoming suspense drama, "Killing Karma." Principal photography has begun in and around New Orleans, Louisiana.

Artie Mandelberg ("Saving Grace") is directing from a screenplay by novelist Dylan Schaffer (Misdemeanor Man). "Killing Karma" is produced by WWE Studios Executive Vice President Michael Pavone and executive produced by Lori Lewis.

For the last 13 years, AJ (TRIPLE H) has been behind bars, convicted of murdering his stepfather, who was abusing his mother. Now released, AJ wants to start a small business and live a crime-free life. Unfortunately, within hours of leaving prison, his oldest and best friend, Jack (MICHAEL RAPAPORT) involves AJ in an accidental shooting in which a man is killed, forcing Jack to skip town. When Jack's father and local mob boss Vic Small (BRUCE DERN) comes looking for retribution, AJ is compelled to protect Jack's family and himself even if it means returning to prison.

Right because all of WWE's other movies have won awards and have been great successes. Batista is boring as hell in his WWE job I'm sure he'd be boring as hell in an acting job. When are all these guys gonna realize (*cough* Cena) that they're not The Rock?

Why would they replace him with big nose for seemingly no reason? I can't imagine why this would happen. :shifty:

 

[J...]

Have you seen Batista's new movie with RVD. He has some bad ass scene's if you ask me Batista is a hell of a better actor then Cena. Directed at your Cena statement.

HHH's name is AJ in the film? lmao


Seriously, if Batista leaves WWE I don't see him accomplishing anything. WWE is what is keeping his name out there. They have the power. The Rock was different. He left WWE because he was a good actor. Nothing about Batista resembles a good actor IMO. He is just a limited mobility big jacked up bastard.

I think Batista would have played that part better. HHH barely did a good job in Blade Trinity

 

[JurassicBonez]

Triple H seemed out of place in Blade Trinity when it came to the action scenes. The talk scenes were alright, but that was about it.

HHH barely did a good job in Blade Trinity

HHH was barely in the movie.

This sounds like a good idea but neither Batista or HHH would do good in this. HHH big nose will take up half the screen and Roids and tatts will grunt his way through the whole movie.

btw Michael Rapaport is the shit.

lol batista in tna. reunion with dvon is a must. Has to have replica entrance of course and be called the beast or have hogan call him hollywood. Oh well not like i'll watch it anyway.

Can't wait to hear about WWE panicking and having to focus on new talent and maybe go back into the business of meaningful and srs business feuds. I'd cum for blood. They really need new interesting talent but they'll find away around it. Triple H might have to do gauntlet matches again
