Hands Of Stone: New BTrailer Starring Edgar Ramirez and De Niro

Jeez, we’ve been waiting a year for this trailer to drop. Harvey Weinstein finally gives us a look at Hands Of Stone, based on the legendary Panamanian pugilist Roberto Duran and his equally legendary trainer Ray Arcel who changed each other’s lives. Is it going to be the next CREED? I don’t think so, but it has the promise of being a solid movie.

Thoughts on Hands Of Stone

Some immediate reactions arise from seeing the Hands Of Stone trailer: Edgar Ramirez is way taller than Roberto Duran. Usher as an actor is iffy, but let’s give him a shot to prove himself, and this story is probably not relevant anymore. In any instance, great to see Hollywood making films based on Hispanic stories, especially one that captivated the boxing world the way this one did. I saw these two fights on TV live. One broke my heart, and the other left me confused and in utter shock. Let’s see how the film delivers it.

Who Are The Cast And Crew?

The movie is written and directed by Jonathan Jakubowicz and stars: Edgar Ramírez, Usher, Robert De Niro, Jurnee Smollett-Bell, Ana de Armas, Ellen Barkin, John Turturro, Rubén Blades, and Óscar Jaenada.
