A promo for a biopic about Marshawn Lynch called “Family First” was released and sent viral. The promo, which was put together last summer, did not live up to Lynch’s standards.
After noticing that the film had a 90s feel to it, Lynch reportedly wants it scratched and done over.
four-minute-plus “promo” for “Family First the Marshawn Lynch Story”
— which stars Lynch as himself — was released Tuesday and we’re told Marshawn went Beast Mode when he saw it … in a bad way.
“It was the quality, It doesn’t look like some sh*t nobody would want their name attached to” … one source close to Marshawn tells us.
We’re told Marshawn thought the film (which was his idea) was going to look like a big budget Hollywood affair … but, in his cinematic opinion, ultimately felt the sound, editing, and lighting were “not good at all.”
The news came as a shock to the film’s director Mario Bobino — who says he was blindsided by Marshawn’s less-than-encouraging take on the project.
“I’ve known Marshawn his whole life. All of the sudden he’s mad at me and now doesn’t want the film to see the light of day. I’m upset by this because he fully committed to see the project through and now he wants out,” Bobino tells us.
Mario says he met with some of Lynch’s reps Wednesday and temporarily agreed to remove the clip from the Internet while he makes some changes … but insists the movie is coming out “no matter what.”
He also claims the mega rich NFL superstar’s actions are hurting the other actors who appear in the movie … including family members.
“I’m just upset and disappointed in Marshawn. Why are you afraid for the world to know who you really are? By blocking the film, it screws his mom and brother. Get out of that shell dude!”
