“The Wrestler” a Bruce Springsteen original
“The Wrestler,” a film starring Mickey Rourke and directed by Darren Aronofsky, features a brand spanking new Bruce Springsteen track written exclusively for the movie. Right now, “The Wrestler” is playing in New York and Los Angelos, but is scheduled to open everywhere soon.
“I wrote Bruce a letter, because we’ve known each other over twenty years, and he knows what I used to be, or whatever. Where I went. What I’d been reduced to. I told him how I felt lucky now and didn’t have to end up being this guy, being Randy (character from The Wrestler). A while later, I got a call in the middle of the night: he said he’d written a little song, for nothing. It’s f—ing beautiful, right? I was honored he took the time, because he’s a busy cat. I mean, I’m so ——- proud of this magical movie and to have Bruce’s input… ain’t nobody in Hollywood with all their millions can just ring the man and he’ll do a song, y’know?”— Mickey Rourke
