Out with Cage and in with Marv! Darren Aronofsky's THE WRESTLER just got more interesting!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Original, Nicholas Cage was going to topline Darren Aronofsky's next flick THE WRESTLER, but this morning came news that not only was Cage not in the film anymore, but Mickey Rourke has signed on to play Randy "The Ram" Robinson. I certainly buy Rourke as an older wrestler who gets back in the ring for one more ROCKY BALBOAesque shot at glory more than Nicholas Cage. In fact, wasn't Roarke a boxer? I don't mean to shit on Cage. I actually like him as an actor, but in this role I think Rourke is ten times more interesting in the role. What about you?
