The Weinstein Company has unveiled the very
first Southpaw image from director Antoine
Fuqua ’s long-in-the-works boxing drama, and it
reveals a rather transformed Jake Gyllenhaal .
The film has been in development for years, with
Eminem previously attached to star. Written by
Sons of Anarchy creator Kurt Sutter, the story
revolves around a left-handed boxer who wins a
title but suffers various tragedies in his personal
life, all while trying to win back the love of his
daughter. Gyllenhaal gained 15 pounds of muscle
for the role, and judging by this first image it’s a
far cry from his gaunt physique in Nightcrawler .
Check out the first Southpaw image after the
jump. The film also stars Rachel McAdams,
Forest Whitaker, Naomie Harris , Victor Ortiz , and
50 Cent . Southpaw will be released in theaters
sometime in 2015.
