Nicolas Cage is set to bounce from the ropes heh in a new wrestling pic from screenwriter Robert Siegel (Homeland Security).

Ol Ghost Rider will don the shorts of Randy "The Ram" Robinson, a 1980s-era star pro wrestler who has become a burnt-out shell of his former self. After he has a heart attack during a small-time match, a doctor tells him he could die if he fights again, says The Hollywood Reporter.

In an effort to build a new life, Robinson takes a job at a deli, moves in with an aging stripper and tries to build a relationship with her son. But the prospect of a rematch with his old nemesis the Ayatollah proves too tempting to resist, even if it means risking his life.

The pic, called simply The Wrestler, is in development at Darren Aronofsky's Protozoa Pictures.
