‘The Smashing Machine’ is one of the most anticipated films of 2025. The reason is more than evident: Dwayne Johnson’s brutal appearance To put on the skin of the two -time UFC Mark Kerr champion. The first image of the solo debut as director of Benny Safdie has already aroused the interest of all cinephiles, but the first trailer is even more spectacular. Is that the rock really?
‘The Smashing Machine’ tells Mark Kerr’s story, one of the great mixed martial arts figures in the 90s and 2000s. His career, full of victories, abuse of analgesics and problems with his staff and his partnerplayed in the movie by Emily Blunt, they took HBO to dedicate a documentary with the same title as the film, which refers to the nickname for which he was known in the industry.
More than 20 years after that documentary, Benny Safdie moves away from his brother Joshua, with whom he created authentic wonders like ‘Good Time’ or ‘Gross Diamonds’, To bring Kerr’s story to the big screen by the prestigious A24. Will we be facing the first Oscar nomination of Dwayne Johnson?
