Fedor Emelianenko (31-3 MMA, 1-2 SF) may not be the world's top heavyweight anymore, but there's another place for his icy demeanor.
The silver screen.
Emelianenko co-stars in "The Salamander Key" alongside Michael Madsen and Rutger Hauer. The film debuts Friday in Moscow, the same day Emelianenko's management team, M-1 Global, holds its first Showtime-televised event, "M-1 Challenge 24: Damkovsky vs. Figueroa," in Norfolk, Va.
The heavyweight shot the movie way back in October 2008 as a prepared for a bout against Andrei Arlovski at "Affliction: Day of Reckoning." Gegard Mousasi and others were flown out to help him prepare on the movie's set in Thailand.
The action flick centers on group of international scientists who disappear on a remote island in Southeastern Asia while conducting advanced medical research. Emelianenko plays a member of a team sent to rescue the scientists, who have uncovered an evil plot that could destroy the world.
Emelianenko's manager and M-1 Global president Vadim Finkelchtein is a co-producer on the movie, as well as M-1 executive Sergei Matvienko.

It will be interesting to watch.
Hopefully its better than "The Marine" and other BS movies WWE has made.
HAHA! Anything the WWE comes out with will be much better then "The Salamander Key" come on. Filmed in 2008, not released until 2011, that means they couldnt find anyone to put the money into this movie to distribute it.

Someone needs to cheer for those poor souls.
Man, Its difficult for me to imagine a worse film than "The Marine" and the other one in which Big Show is the protagonist. (dont remember the name)
And if they had a lot of trouble finding sponsosrs and money and all that its understandable, John Cena and the WWE actors are way more popular worldwide than Fedor.
LOL no no no, You can believe me that I prefer to stay far from that kind of knowledge.
But now that you ask it, I think that at the age of 34 Fedor is very capable of wiping his own ass without any help. Arthur, if one day you have Fedor on your radio show, please dont ask him that LOL
"The Salamander Key," featuring Fedor Emelianenko, opens March 25 in Moscow 
Get the awards ready for this blockbuster. I wonder if M-1 co-participates in wiping Fedor's ass when he takes a shit, too.
