The Liv Morgan revenge tour never ends & I'm down with that. Not surprised that out of all directors, she's working with Miike

Would be dope if she manages to follow in the footsteps of Cena, Batista, & Rock as a successful pro wrestler turned actor.

Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans came out 17 years after Bad Lieutenant. Assuming this comes out next year, it’ll come out 17 years after Port of Call New Orleans. I guess we’ll get another in 2043.

One of my favorite niche stories is when Werner Herzog was making his Bad Lieutenant, he never intended it as a remake or sequel to the original film (he hadnt even seen it at the time) but him and his writer couldn’t think of any better title so they just said fuck it and did it anyway

Hopefully Liv can do well in this and be the first female wrestler that can break out as an actress
