    I've heard it's going to be titled "The Rabbit."

    Like this, but Stallone's probably gonna have kittens having this brought up again ... Wepner sued him for being the inspiration for Rocky but never getting any sort of compensation; it was settled out of court.

    Never in a million years would I have thought that Chuck Wepner would have his own movie.

    This looks so good. Starring the voice of 24/7, Liev Schreiber. HBO better give it a push.

    Had a look at this on IMDB and according to the stats it was filmed 1-2 years ago and originally called 'The Bleeder'. Now it seems it is called 'Chuck'. It looks to have a May 7th release date. It looks like fun.

    I think it could be very good.

    Nobody will believe the bear thing though. Not sure I believe it.

    :lol:. Assuming that is you on the right, who is the gent beside you, a boxer I presume?

    As for the film, looks worth a watch. Solid cast at least.

    Looks ok. I that that actor - Liev Screeber. aka Ray Donavan.

    I watched Bleed For This recently and thought it was very good. Much better than Hands of Stone.

    Never understood the fascination with Wepner.
