What you’re seeing below is the first official poster and stills to inaugurate the release campaign for new wrestling drama, Unstoppable. William Goldenberg (Academy Award-winning editor for Argo) makes his directorial debut for an an all-star ensemble cast led Jharrel Jerome, Bobby Cannavale, Michael Peña with Don Cheadle and Jennifer Lopez.
Unstoppable is the inspiring true story of Anthony Robles (Jharrel Jerome) who was born with one leg but whose indomitable spirit and unbreakable resolve empowered him to defy the odds and pursue his dreams. With the unwavering love and support of his devoted mother Judy (Jennifer Lopez) and the encouragement of his coaches, Anthony fights through adversity to earn a spot on the Arizona State Wrestling team. But it will demand everything he has, physically and mentally, to achieve his ultimate quest to become an NCAA Champion.
Goldenberg directs from a script by Eric Champnella, Alex Harris and John Hindman, based on the 2012 biography co-penned by Robles and by Austin Murphy.
Robles also features as himself himself, and is credited as ‘Anthony Robles Double’ for performing the complex wrestling moves and stunts. He is also a producer on the film, and trained Jerome for months working very closely to establish the physicality and determination required for the role.
Unstoppable is also produced by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon’s Artists Equity. The production employed Accessibility Coordinators from IndieVisible to ensure a safe working environment, including productivity tools for all cast and crew.
The film is set for a World Premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on Friday ahead of a select U.S. and U.K. theatrical release in December and TBA Prime Video launch.
