DANCING IN THE RING: New Poster Art For Chilean Boxing Biopic Starring Marko Zaror
A new poster is making the rounds for boxing biopic, Dancing In The Ring. Actor and martial arts star Marko Zaror (The Killer’s Game, Fist Of The Condor) stars in the lead role of of Chilean boxing legend Arturo Godoy, directed Rodrigo Sepulveda from a script by Rodrigo Gijon and Gonzalo Maza.
The artwork, featured exclusively on Instagram this week, comes following the film’s announcement for release via Disney+ Latin America back in December, with a solo theatrical release to kick things off. Max Gandarillas is head producer on the film, which is based on the novel, “Dying for My Sweet Homeland” by Roberto Castillo.
Set in 1940 amid the chaos of World War II, “Dancing in the Ring” follows Godoy as he arrives in the city to challenge Louis for the heavyweight title. At the same time, Leda Urbinati (played by Fiorella Bottaioli), a talented dancer, pursues her dream of Broadway stardom. Their shared passion for ambition and dance sparks a romance, but their paths are rife with struggles and setbacks.
Godoy’s career takes off after defeating Firpo and Tony Galento, earning him a shot at the title. Meanwhile, Urbinati’s dreams take flight with the help of Gabriel Meredith (Benjamin Vicuña), a driven promoter whose growing bond with her sparks Godoy’s jealousy. As personal tensions threaten their relationships and goals, Godoy and Meredith must set aside their differences to fight for glory.
Titled Rey Del Ring for its Chilean release, Dancing In The Ring opens in cinemas from August 14 before streaming on Disney+ Latin America. Take a look:
