From acclaimed director Antoine Fuqua (TRAINING DAY) and screenwriters
Kurt Sutter ("Sons of Anarchy) and Richard Wenk (THE MECHANIC), SOUTHPAW
tells the riveting story of Billy "The Great" Hope, reigning Junior
Middleweight Boxing Champion of the World (Academy Award (R) nominee
Jake Gyllenhaal). Billy Hope seemingly has it all with an impressive
career, a beautiful and loving wife (Rachel McAdams), an adorable
daughter (Oona Laurence) and a lavish lifestyle. When tragedy strikes
and his lifelong manager and friend (Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson) leaves
him behind, Hope hits rock bottom and turns to an unlikely savior at a
run-down local gym: Tick Willis (Academy Award (R) winner Forest
Whitaker), a retired fighter and trainer to the city's toughest amateur
boxers. With his future riding on Tick's guidance and tenacity, Billy
enters the hardest battle of his life as he struggles with redemption
and to win back the trust of those he loves. (C) Weinstein
