Martha Marcy May Marlene director Sean Durkin to grapple with wrestling's Von Erich curse

Sean Durkin’s been working primarily as a producer since making a splash with Martha Marcy May Marlene, the affecting, cult-centric indie that helped launch the career of Elizabeth Olsen. That’s about to change, though, as the filmmaker will debut The Nest this weekend at the Sundance Film Festival and, as Deadline reports, is already at work on a follow-up about the wrestling world’s Von Erich family.
The Von Erich family—real name Adkisson—should be familiar to any longtime fan of pro wrestling, as the Texas clan’s World Class Championship Wrestling was wildly popular in the pre-WWE days, with Fritz Von Erich’s five children—Kevin, David, Kerry, Mike, and Chris—serving as its shining, smiling stars. Kerry even found success in Vince McMahon’s WWE, winning the Intercontinental Championship in 1990 as the Texas Tornado.
