Hands Of Stone Trailer

 

Edgar Ramirez will step into the ring for Hands of Stone, The Weinstein Company’s starry biopic that finds Robert De Niro in the role of accomplished trainer, Ray Arcel.

De Niro, who so brilliantly captured the imagination of a generation in Raging Bull, will find himself on the other side of the ropes in Jonathan Jakubowicz’s feature. It’s one he wrote and directed, too, chronicling the inspired journey of Panamanian boxer, Roberto Durån.

Celebrated as one of the finest fighters the sport has ever produced, Edgar Ramirez will don the boxing gloves in TWC’s feature film, as it charts Durån’s rise and rise to the tip-top of the boxing hierarchy, even toppling Sugar Ray Leonard before ultimately hanging up his gloves in 2002 at 50 years young. Ellen Barkin, Ruben Blades and Ana de Armas round out the ensemble.

Hands of Stone hits theaters on August 26.
