Former WWE Champion CM Punk has landed another movie role in his continuation to pursue an acting career.
The first trailer for the horror movie Rabid has been released, which does contain strong language. Laura Vandervoort and Ben Hollingsworth star in the film and features CM Punk and AJ Lee in supporting roles.
You can see the trailer Punk appearing at the 1:47 mark:
In the film, Punk plays a character named “Billy” while Lee plays a character named “Kira.” This is a remake of the 1977 David Cronenberg movie of the same name but is written and directed by The Soska Twins. They have directed several other movies for WWE Studios, including Vendetta and See No Evil 2 starring Kane.
The film is slated to premiere at the Frightfest film festival in the UK on Monday, August 26th. As of this writing, there is currently no release date for the film. Here is the official synopsis:
“The hugely anticipated remake of David Cronenberg’s body horror classic from AMERICAN MARY directors, The Soska Sisters. What happens when you realize to achieve your dreams you have to live a nightmare? Rose wants to become a famous designer in the fashion world, but a terrible accident leaves her scarred beyond recognition. Undergoing a radical untested stem cell treatment, wallflower Rose turns into the belle of the ball and starts to realize her ambitions. But everything in life comes at a price and Rose’s new found perfection is no exception as she unwittingly sets off a bloody spiral of contagion.”
