Director Antoine Fuqua’s (Training Day) latest film tells the story of light middleweight champion Billy “The Great” Hope (played by Academy Award nominee Jake Gyllenhaal). Hope’s life comes crashing down with the tragic death of his wife and losing his daughter to Child Services. Completely broken as a man and fighter, Hope enlists the help of a former boxer in Tick (Forest Whitaker) to guide him back to redemption. The film also stars 50 Cent, Rita Ora and Rachel McAdams.
Watch the official trailer below.
I thought Eminem was once gonna be in a movie called ‘Southpaw’??? Its dope that for once a fictional boxing movie isnt a rags to riches type move…
Why do trailers give so much of the movie away these days??? I had to stop that trailer up there or there would be no point watching the actual movie lol
This is the same movie. For whatever reason, Em lost the lead role but still has his music all over the trailer lol
Ahhh ok cool… Yeah didnt Manny Stewart give him some training for the role??? TBF Jake Gyllenhaal is probably slightly better at acting haha funny how 50 still managed to blag a role though!
