Here's a new clip from Darren Aronofsky's upcoming drama "The Wrestler," in which Mickey Rourke plays a retired pro wrestler who risks his life by returning to the ring for one final match against his big rival.

I'm sure by now you've heard all the positive stuff that critics said about the film, which won the prestigious Golden Lion at this year's Venice Film Festival.

In the footage after the jump, Rourke asks co-star Marisa Tomei out for a beer. It's a pretty short clip, but I can already see why everybody loves Rourke in this role. He just seems to be the perfect guy for it.

"The Wrestler" will open in limited release Dec. 17, 2008. Let's keep our fingers crossed it will expand shortly after that.
