Raven was approached for the role of Resnik while wrestling in Australia.
WMC Muay Thai Cruiserweight World champion Nathan "Carnage" Corbett makes his film debut in Sleeper.
The film contains many props that refer back to some of Raven's most famous matches.
Raven worked closely with Darko Tuscan to perfect the many action scenes. Darko was the Neo stunt double for Keanu Reeves in The Matrix.
Raven's recent return to TNA coincides with his first day of shooting on Sleeper exactly a year before.
