As far as obscure boxing dramas go, it’s understandable if at one point or another, you were trying to keep up with the progress on Liu Fendou’s 2019 boxing drama, The Heart. The film had a nascent niche rollout in the states via Smart Cinema USA following its mainland China release and thankfully, its release has also expanded to a few others.
It’s been maybe four years since production took for director Liu Fendou’s new sports drama, titled The Heart Of The Champion at the time. If you’re a Westerner like me and not in the loop as to what the exact situation was then your guess is about as good as mine; a music video did go viral in 2017 though, which was really the only sign of life this film had until this point.
Nat Faxon and Jim Rash (The Descendants, Fox Seachlight’s upcoming Downhill) are set to reunite with fellow Academy Award-winners Sam Rockwell and Allison Janney (The Way Way Back) for new movie, The Heart, which rolls cameras at the end of the year. The two actors will be joined by Academy award-winning Octavia Spencer (The Shape Of Water, Hidden Figures), from an original script by Faxon and Nash.
