Rodrigo Sepulveda’s new biopictoral boxing drama, Rey Del Ring, will make its way firstly to audiences via Disney+ Latin America and Star Distribution on August 14. The first official teaser is currently floating around online touting the work with actor and martial arts star Marko Zaror who portrays the film’s titular subject, Chilean boxing legend Arturo Godoy.
NYC, 1940. A Chilean boxer and a driven dancer arrive in the city chasing the American Dream. But when an immigrant opportunist offers his help, friendship turns into a dangerous love triangle, where ambition corrupts, dreams darken, and loyalty shatters.
Fiorella Bottiaoli and Benjamin Vicuña also star in the film from a script by Rodrigo Gijon and Gonzalo Maza, which is based on Roberto Castillo’s novel, “Dying For My Sweet Homeland”. The film, in which Zaror also serves as fight coordinator, is also expected to release internationally as Dancing In The Ring in due time.
