The Weinstein Company has released a new clip for Antoine Fuqua's upcoming
boxing drama Southpaw, featuring Rachel McAdams (Maureen Hope) and Jake Gyllenhaal
(Billy “The Great” Hope) having a discussion about his career and what refusing
to tap out could mean for the future of the family, and his health.
Scheduled to premiere on July 24th, Southpaw also stars Forest Whitaker,
Oona Laurence, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, Rita Ora, Naomie Harris, Victor Ortiz,
and Clare Foley.
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.
