Jake Gyllenhaal’s Startling ‘Southpaw’ Makeover

Jake Gyllenhaal’s brand new boxing drama gets a prime time summer release, coming to cinemas this July!

With NIGHTCRAWLER star Jake Gyllenhaal already in the news for passing on a position in the highly anticipated DC SUICIDE SQUAD movie, this is a perfect opportunity to announce when we’ll actually get to see him on the big screen.

Fear not, Gyllenhaal fans because his new boxing drama SOUTHPAW is getting its theatre release this July, a prime time spot for a summer blockbuster. 

Directed by Antoine Fuqua, the film will tell the story of left handed boxer, Billy Hope, who must deal with the crippling struggles of his personal life and boxing, all while trying to win back the love of his daughter. 

With a knockout performance in last year’s NIGHTCRAWLER, this could be a serious hit for Gyllenhaal, as his talent is obviously only growing with time. We’ll see him in a much more outwardly aggressive and bulked up position in SOUTHPAW, something radically different from his weedy and inwardly unhinged NIGHTCRAWLER character. 

Also starring Rachel McAdams, Forest Whitaker, Naomi Harris, Rita Ora, Clare Foley; SOUTHPAW hits cinemas July 31st, 2015.
