SOUTHPAW Trailer: Jake Gyllenhaal Steps Into The Ring

Here's the first trailer for Antoine Fuqua's new boxing film Southpaw. Jake Gyllenhaal looks jacked beyond belief, and this looks like another terrific performance from him. After a scene in this trailer that seems as if it were ripped straight out of Rocky III, it appears that the movie veers into much more dramatic territory; the thrust of the story is about the relationship between Gyllenhaal's character and his daughter as he tries to win her back after a tragedy befalls their family. Rachel McAdams looks like she isn't given too much to do this time around, but that might just be how this trailer is cut. We'll find out when the film is released this July.

From director Antoine Fuqua (TRAINING DAY) and writers Kurt Sutter (SONS OF ANARCHY) and Richard Wenk (THE MECHANIC) comes SOUTHPAW - the story of Billy "The Great" Hope, Junior Middleweight Boxing Champion of the World. When tragedy strikes and he loses it all, Billy enters the battle of his life as he struggles to become a contender once again and win back those he loves. SOUTHPAW stars Academy Award® nominee Jake Gyllenhaal, Academy Award® winner Forest Whitaker, Rachel McAdams, Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, Rita Ora, Naomie Harris and Victor Ortiz.  In theaters July 2015.
