The month of July is kicking off in blockbuster fashion this weekend, but there’s no question that director Antoine Fuqua‘s latest, Southpaw, will prove to be equally explosive in nature. Jake Gyllenhaal is the lead and in full boxing athlete fashion in a story written by Kurt Sutter that sees our golden boy trounced on by an onslaught of tragedy, grief, and almost anything life would through.
From director Antoine Fuqua (TRAINING DAY) and writers Kurt Sutter (SONS OF ANARCHY) and Richard Wenk (THE MECHANIC) comes SOUTHPAW – the story of Billy “The Great” Hope, Junior Middleweight Boxing Champion of the World. When tragedy strikes and he loses it all, Billy enters the battle of his life as he struggles to become a contender once again and win back those he loves.
