In case you didn’t know…
Since leaving the WWE back in 2014, Punk has attempted a career in MMA. While he’s 0-2 in the UFC, Punk has nonetheless been a draw for the UFC during both of his matches. Outside of MMA, he’s been working as a writer for Marvel, writing a series for Drax and doing a one-off for Master of Kung Fu.
AJ Lee has also had a successful writing career, putting out the autobiography, Crazy is my Superpower: How I Triumphed by Breaking Bones, Breaking Hearts, and Breaking the Rules. Lee’s book went on to be a New York Times Best Seller and is now being made into a television series where she will serve as an Executive Producer.
The heart of the matter
It’s been announced that CM Punk and AJ Lee will be involved in the remake of RABID, a 1977 horror movie from the horror icon David Cronenberg. It will star Laura Vandervoort and Ben Hollingsworth, and Punk and AJ will play supporting characters “Billy” and “Kira.” Below is the press release for the upcoming film. (H/T to WrestlingInc)
What’s next?
RABID is a nasty horror flick combining a creature feature with a film about a disease running rampant. One of David Cronenberg’s best works, it revolves around the spreading of a new form of rabies which quickly turns humans into ravenous beasts hungry for flesh. Combining this new threat with mass hysteria and paranoia, it ends up being a pretty violent movie, and a great horror film.
It’s unknown exactly how important Punk and AJ’s parts will be in the upcoming remake, but this could possibly launch their acting careers, should they decide to head down that path.
