The trailer for Sean Durkin's family wrestling drama The Iron Claw put on its finest silken panties and was unveiled this morning -- the words "family wrestling drama" aren't typically my bag, but the words "Sean Durkin" (director of Martha Marcy May Marlene and The Nest) sure are. Not to mention the film stars Jeremy Allen White and Zac Efron and Harris Dickinson (who I never once recognized...
... in this trailer) as the wrestling brothers. Also a drawing point! Those three in their lil' wrestling trunks. Also the film looks gorgeously lensed, with lots of rich blacks and golds -- Durkin is working with DP Mátyás Erdély, who also shot The Nest (one of the most underrated looking films of the past decade); as a sidenote Erdély also shot Foe with Paul Mescal and Saoirse Ronan, the movie that just got terrible reviews out of NYFF, but I think everybody agreed (me included) that it is a very good looking mess. Anyway obviously I'm seeing this -- y'all watch the trailer and tell me what you think:
The Iron Claw is out on December 22nd.

Wrestling movies aren't usually my thing either but with that cast it's worth a shot. The whole father ranking his children in terms of favorites...and telling them to their faces!...is horrifying but surely will add much drama to the storyline.
Looks completely stupid just like wrestling! The closet case rednecks will probably enjoy it 🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮
Anytime Dickenson takes his short off or more I'm there. I mean I'll suffer through anything, but this looks interesting....and different. And Harris looks amazing aside from the hair. :)
Is Zac wearing a wig?? God that's terrible looking
