| I couldnt believe this when i read it. This piece of trash is going to be the lead man in a movie about a greenskeeper with golf tools killing teenagers. What a fucking joke this is. I dont hate the guy as much as i used to, mainly cause he left the Braves, but this is still stupid as hell.
Mind you, i will watch the movie because there has been a lack of decent slasher movies for a while. However, i think this will be a comedy more than anything because every time i hear his idiotic voice, i just wanna bust out laughing.
John Rocker to make movie debut as homicidal greenskeeper
February 23, 2002
PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. (AP) -- John Rocker will be flinging bodies instead of baseballs when he makes his big-screen debut as a homicidal maniac.
The controversial Texas Rangers reliever is playing a slasher-killer in movie called ``The Greenskeeper,'' Rangers spokesman John Blake confirmed Saturday.
The film, produced by Atlanta-based Ghost Man on Third Productions, was shot in October in Senoia and other golf courses in Georgia.
It follows a 20-year-old assistant greenskeeper who gathers friends for a country club birthday party, according to the movie's Web site. A killer dressed as a greenskeeper and armed with golf course tools crashes the party and disposes of naughty teens.
``It's par for the corpse,'' is the hook line on the Web site.
Kevin Greene, one of the film's producers, said they called Rocker after a friend of a friend mentioned he knew the pitcher. Rocker was initially surprised by the offer but became the consummate professional, Greene said, showing up on time and knowing all his lines.
``He has a crazy persona and the character needed a wild streak,'' Greene said.
Rocker's remarks on racial, ethnic and sexual minorities in a magazine article led to his suspension for two weeks in 2000.
Blake said the Rangers have no problem with Rocker's role in the movie.
``I don't think there's a lot of concern,'' he said.
Filmmakers are planning a May premier in Atlanta and are looking for national distributors to avoid the straight-to-video route.
Besides Rocker, the Web site lists other stars as Atlanta radio personality Steve Rickman and ``Playboy'' model Christi Taylor.

If they wanted to avoid going to straight to video they should have dumped the script and came up with a better movie.
