Usher to play SRL in Hands of Stone Film

Who's gonna' play Marcel in the early part? Obviously the all-Panamanian super clash was the first great win of the young Duran's career, and against such a respected and brilliant fighter such as Marcel it is surely a foregone conclusion that this will make up a pivotal scene where Duran really starts to find himself.

No? Oh, alright then. I was gonna' say Robert Downey Jr in black face again, but maybe he can go full ****** and play Wilfred Benitez instead.

 

Unless they've said that it's gonna be included I can see them omissing it :-(

 

"Omissing"? I think you've just inventerised a new word SL!!:good

 

Yeah, I thought that too

 

Nee-nor! Nee-Nor! It's the grammar police :deal

 

I like it though, hope it sticks.

 

Got this image of the fight breaking into a music video with Leonard dancing away!

Sounds interesting, boxing biopics are difficult to capture. They are forever compared to Raging Bull, and rightly so.

Ali was okay, but The Hurricane was mostly bollocks.

 

Its hardly being a Grammar Nazi pointing out a new word has been used.atsch

 

Hurricane was terrible, and I really like Carter the boxer so that was horrible to see.

Rocky is terrible, Marciano never even fought Apollo Creed or Ivan Drago, though their re-staging of the 'Thunderlips' contest was very accurate according to contemporary reports.

 

I'm on your side!

 

Robert Carlyle always talked of doing a Benny Lynch film, but he obviously got too old in the end. What about that James McAvoy lad?

 

I thought Ali was absolute ****. Can't beat a bit of the original body and soul for me. I used to love Raging Bull until I read the book and its never been the same since.
