Per a report from PWInsider, it has been confirmed that in the new Steven Spielberg sci-fi film, ‘Disclosure Day’ opens up with a pro wrestling scene featuring AEW’s Brian Cage and Lance Hoyt/Archer.
“As PWInsider.com has noted, there were pro wrestling scenes filmed for the new Steven Spielberg film Disclosure Day, which officially opens tomorrow in theaters. The wrestling scene actually opens the film with AEW’s Brian Cage and Lance Hoyt featured. Thanks to Rob Goyette.“
It had been originally reported by PWInsider that several pro wrestling scenes were filmed for the new movie.
‘Disclosure Day’, which opens nationwide in theaters on June 12 is about a cybersecurity expert and a local meteorologist who join forces after discovering the Earth’s governments have secretly covered up extraterrestrial visitations for nearly 80 years. Together, they race to expose the truth to the world while evading a shadowy corporate contractor trying to silence them.
During a recent interview with Gabby AF, former WCW and WWE star Chavo Guerrero talks on his involvement with the film and helping out with the scene. He also plays the referee in the movie, specifically for the scene.
“I got this call from a producer that’s working for Amblin Productions, which is Steve Spielberg. And I’m like ‘Amblin? Okay, what’s this about?’ So, when I agreed to do it, usually for a movie, I get a script, the whole script, and I’ve got to read the whole script and kind of know the whole tone of the movie, see what’s going on, so I can kind of put together scenes and stuff. For Steven Spielberg’s movie, I got one page. I get this page and I’m like ‘Okay. What do I…what do you want from me?’ But it forced me to work directly with Steven Spielberg. He and I put together this scene in the movie…He’s awesome, he’s just awesome. And he respected pro wrestling…we had 200 extras and he just looked at everybody in the crowd, and he goes ‘Everybody. These guys are pros. Just listen to them.’ I still can’t divulge too much cause it hasn’t aired yet, but it’s pretty damn good. It’s just, it was a very cool bucket list [thing]. I checked that one off; I worked directly with Steven Spielberg.”
