    Miles Teller & Aaron Eckhart to Star in Boxing Drama 'Bleed for This'

    DateMon, February 3, 2014

    It was announced today that Miles Teller (The Spectacular Now) and Aaron Eckhart (I, Frankenstein) will headline the boxing biopic, Bleed for This, the true story of boxer Vinny Pazienza.

    The film will tell the story of Pazienza (Teller) who after shooting to stardom in becoming WBA World Jr Middleweight Champion, is involved in a near-fatal car accident and is told by doctors he would never fight again.  After months of recovery and against doctors wishes, Pazienza returned to the ring under the watchful eye of infamous trainer Kevin Rooney (Eckhart) just a year later.

    Ben Younger (Boiler Room, Prime) will both write and direct the project with none other than Martin Scorsese executive producing.
