Gable life film planned before February start in Iowa
A movie project on Dan Gable life is slated to begin filming in February in Iowa with an expected budget around 5 million. Promoters say groundwork is underway, star Dan Gable notes he won’t rush excitement until filming starts, and the plan is a joint venture by Seyfer Starbuck & Co and TAG Entertainment with a July release tied to the 1968 Olympics. Starbuck says the film, not a wrestling movie, will be inspirational and depict tragedy turning to triumph including Gable’s sister’s murder in 1964.
