The long-rumoured Chris Benoit biopic, Crossface, may finally be seeing the light of day. Director Lexi Alexander (Punisher: War Zone) confirmed on Twitter that she has signed on to direct the biopic. The film will focus on the life of the wrestling legend, and the events leading to his infamous 2007 double-murder and suicide.
Alexander posted the following tweets about the project…
