    Is this going to be like, a real movie? I hope they don't spend too much money making it because nobody's going to see it. It's hard enough to get people to watch hockey, let alone movies about hockey, let alone movies about a hockey player that nobody even knows or cares about.

    Definitely. A little clip of how Gary Bettman announced Dennis Wideman's 20 game suspension:

    Arnold Schwartzenegger ("I live to see you eat that contract, but I hope you leave enough room for my fist, because I'm going to ram it into your stomach and break your goddamn spine!") could play John Scott because you know, Twins.
    You forgot Arnold in Kindergarten Cop: "I'm a cop you idiot, my name in John Kimble". I could see Scott playing that role..

    Schreiber would be the perfect choice and agreed, a comparison to a movie like Cool Runnings makes sense. If they cast an actor that is known, there is no reason the movie wouldn't have some success at the box office
