Eminem’s movie ‘Southpaw’ has been in the works for sometime now (2011) but it looks like things have finally come to fruition.
Today we have our first look at the official movie trailer.
Directed by Antoine Fuqua (Training Day), the film stars Jake Gyllenhaal (Nightcrawler) as Billy ‘The Great’ Hope, a reigning Junior Middleweight Champion who seemed to be at the top of his game until the unfortunate events that took place one evening at a banquet.
His wife was ultimately killed during this incident and from there Billy’s life went on a terrible crash course leading to nothing but terrible circumstances.
What seems to be a story of having it all to losing it all, we will be on a journey of watching a man try to rehabilitate his life so he can regain custody of his daughter after losing her from all his bad decisions after the death of his wife.
The film also stars Forest Whitaker, 50 Cent and Rachel McAdams. With what looks to be a great film after the official trailer that can be see down below, ‘Southpaw’ is expected to hit theaters this July 31, 2015.
