Speaking at the press conference (via Variety), Johnson said about Kerr, “Mark’s life has changed our lives and certainly changed my life as well. As we found with the film, it’s not about the wins or the losses … it’s also a film about what happens when winning becomes the enemy. And I think we can all relate to that pressure.”
“The Smashing Machine” opens in theaters from A24 on October 3rd.
