A new role for Chris Jericho.
Naman Ramachandran of Variety reports that action horror film "Dark Match" will launch later this year with its festival premiere to be announced imminently. U.K.-based sales and distribution outfit Blue Finch will begin sales at the upcoming Cannes Film Market.
Chris Jericho stars in the film. The film was written and directed by Lowell Dean.
From Variety:
In the film, a small-time wrestling company accepts a well-paying gig in a backwoods town only to learn that the community is run by a mysterious cult leader with devious plans for their match. When the lights go down, Miss Behave and her friends are pitted against each other in a real fight for their lives. The cast also includes Steven Ogg (“The Walking Dead”) and Ayisha Issa (“Transplant”).
"When I wrote ‘Dark Match’ I questioned if it was too crazy to get made, but within months I was on set in Edmonton, with a hard working cast and crew all pouring their (fake) blood and sweat in the wrestling ring to bring it to life. I can’t wait to share this film with the world," said Dean.
Jericho is the reigning FTW Champion and signed to AEW.
