From acclaimed director Antoine Fuqua (The Equalizer, Training Day and Shooter) comes Southpaw, a heroic drama set against the world of boxing starring Oscar nominee Jake Gyllenhaal, Oscar winner Forest Whitaker, Rachel McAdams, Tyrese, Naomie Harris, and Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson.
Billy Hope (Gyllenhaal) is an undefeated world champion prizefighter on top of the world with a loving family until an unexpected tragedy causes his entire life to fall apart. After hitting rock bottom, a devastated Hope must fight his way back to the top of the sport under the guidance of a new trainer (Whitaker) who had hung up his gloves a long time ago while trying to win back the love and respect of his young daughter.
Coming to the big screen this week, MyMovies talk exclusively to Gyllenhaal about his transformation for the role and what drove him to do the film.
