The trailer for the Providence boxer drama ‘Bleed for This’ is here
Bleed For This,
a biopic about the life of Providence boxer Vinny “The Pazmanian Devil” Pazienza, will hit the big screen this fall—but you don’t have to wait that long to get your first peek at the film.
Open Road Films released the trailer about one of sport’s greatest comeback stories on SportsIllustrated.com Wednesday.
Miles Teller, best known for his roles in Whiplash, Divergent, and The Spectacular Now, will play the Providence boxer who won two world title fights in the 1980s and ’90s before a car accident left him with a severed spine.
The film, written and directed by Ben Younger, follows Pazienza’s recovery and journey back into the ring to reclaim his title belt only a year after the crash—with the help of renowned trainer Kevin Rooney, played by Aaron Eckhart.
The film is set to open in limited release on November 4, before going wide on November 23—the day before Thanksgiving.
