Nuovo trailer per Southpaw, il film su cui Harvey Weinstein sembra puntare forte in vista della prossima stagione degli Oscar.
Diretto da Antoine Fuqua (Training Day, The Equalizer) ed interpretato da Jake Gyllenhaal, Rachel McAdams e 50 cents, assieme a Forest Whitaker, Rita Ora e Naomi Harris è una storia di boxe e di rinascita.
Weinstein l’ha mostrato in anteprima a Cannes a potenziali distributori e insiders ed ha ricevuto i complimenti del direttore Fremaux a cui pare il film sia molto piaciuto.
From acclaimed director Antoine Fuqua (TRAINING DAY) and screenwriters Kurt Sutter (“Sons of Anarchy”) and Richard Wenk (THE MECHANIC), SOUTHPAW tells the riveting story of Billy “The Great” Hope, reigning Junior Middleweight Boxing Champion of the World (Academy Award® nominee Jake Gyllenhaal). Billy Hope seemingly has it all with an impressive career, a beautiful and loving wife (Rachel McAdams), an adorable daughter (Oona Laurence) and a lavish lifestyle. When tragedy strikes and his lifelong manager and friend (Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson) leaves him behind, Hope hits rock bottom and turns to an unlikely savior at a run-down local gym: Tick Willis (Academy Award® winner Forest Whitaker), a retired fighter and trainer to the city’s toughest amateur boxers. With his future riding on Tick’s guidance and tenacity, Billy enters the hardest battle of his life as he struggles with redemption and to win back the trust of those he loves.
L’uscita americana è prevista per il 24 luglio.
