Interview With “The Smashing Machine” Star Emily Blunt
#TheSmashingMachine is a biographical sports drama film written, directed, produced, and edited by Benny Safdie, starring Golden Globe nominee Dwayne Johnson as former amateur wrestler and MMA fighter Mark Kerr, alongside Academy Award nominee #EmilyBlunt as Kerr’s girlfriend Dawn Staples. The film had its world premiere in the main competition of the 82nd Venice International Film Festival, where it won the Silver Lion and received positive reviews for the performances, and the makeup from Academy Award-winning prosthetics designer Kazu Hiro.

Please be sure to check out the film, which is now available to rent or own digitally from #A24 and is up for your consideration in all eligible categories for this year’s Academy Awards. Thank you, and enjoy!
