First Look: Miles Teller's Next Sports Drama 'Bleed For This'

Labels: , · Posted by at
"Bleed for This" is Miles Teller's next sports drama venture written and directed by Ben Younger. The film also stars Katey Sagal, Aaron Eckhart, Ciarán Hinds and Ted Levine. Once again, Teller plays a talented young man who pushes himself to extreme lengths for his passion (boxing).

Checkout the first look of the movie 'Bleed For This' below
Plot:
"The inspirational story of World Champion Boxer Vinny Pazienza, who after a near fatal car crash, which left him not knowing if he'd ever walk again, made one of sports most incredible comebacks."

The trade claims Teller “lost a significant amount of weight” for the movie. We’ll have to take their word for it, since the first-look image doesn’t really show off his new body. Teller does look a bit different, but that’s because he has a fuzzy little mustache and a big ugly bruise.

Nicknamed the Pazmanian Devil, Pazienza began his rise through the ranks in the late ’80s, culminating in a 1991 victory over undefeated champion Gilbert Dale in 1991. Shortly afterward, his career was almost cut short by a near-fatal car crash. Doctors feared he’d never walk again, let alone fight.

But Pazienza wasn’t going to let a little thing like a brush with death hold him back. Against his doctors’ orders, Pazienza enlisted trainer Kevin Rooney (Aaron Eckhart) to get him back into fighting shape. Pazienza made his miraculous return to the ring in 1992, after months of hard training. He went on to have an illustrious career that lasted through the early 2000's.
