Amanda Clayton, who plays the role of Cathy Ryan on Showtime’s City on a Hill, has signed with Apa in all areas.
Renewed for a second season, the American crime drama series is created by Charlie McLean, based on an original idea by Ben Affleck and MacLean, and set in 1990s Boston. The city is rife with violent crimes, all emboldened by local law enforcement agencies, where corruption and racism are the norm.
Clayton’s feature credits include the Martin Scorsese-produced biographical drama Bleed For This opposite Miles Teller, Katey Sagal and Aaron Eckhart. That story followed the inspirational world champion boxer Vinny Pazienza. She also appeared in Disney’s John Carter opposite Taylor Kitsch, and the indie thriller Bad Frank.
Clayton is also set to make her directorial debut next summer for the feature film Brusco. She continues to be represented by Eric Kind at Brave Management.

Even before he starred in last year’s boxing movie actually called Bleed for This, Miles Teller proved he was willing to bleed for his craft — all over his drum kit in his breakthrough, Oscar-nominated film Whiplash, for example.
Teller, whose acting has been defined by extreme choices of late, is back on screen testing his limits in two movies this month, playing a firefighter battling a killer blaze in Only the Brave and an Iraq War veteran in Thank You for Your Service. Both films are based on true stories.

[Editor’s Note: This post is presented in partnership with Spectrum. Catch up on this year’s Awards Season contenders and the latest films On Demand. Today’s pick is “Bleed for This.”]
Miles Teller is proving to be an actor who specializes in roles that combine extreme effort and crippling excess. Aaron Eckhart, meanwhile, has become the kind of performer who can bring a well-worn specificity to grizzled supporting roles.
Combine those elements and you get “Bleed for This,” the latest film from Ben Younger (“Boiler Room”). Teller plays Vinny Pazienza, a boxer struggling to return to the ring after a debilitating neck injury. It’s a performance that showcases Teller’s physicality against the backdrop of a true-life story. As Pazienza’s coach, Kevin Rooney, Eckhart brings his ferocity to a role that requires a less obvious show of continual force.
Younger has said that “Bleed for This” is far from a movie solely for boxing purists; he also wanted to rope in audiences who don’t care about sports at all. It’s an admirable goal, but one that doesn...

Miles Teller is plenty tough as Vinny Pazienza, a real boxer who came back from awful injury to fight again, in an enjoyable film with little or no dramatic insight
Martin Scorsese serves as executive producer on this film, a feelgood boxing-comeback drama with superficial style borrowings from Raging Bull: sparring sessions going too far, family strife, fanatical dedication, woozy fight sequences, sans-serif intertitles. But this film – enjoyable though it is – doesn’t explore the real emotional pain that deeply, or at all.

★★★☆☆ How many times has the line "Give me another shot" been uttered in a boxing movie? What is it about these fiercely stubborn, bloodied and bruised fighters that means they just don't know when to throw in the towel? Of all the human punching bags witnessed on film over the years, and of the many, many stories of triumph inside the ring in the battered face of adversity outside it, perhaps none are as deserving of cinematic treatment as Vinny Pazienza. With his first film since 2005 Meryl Streep-led rom-com Prime, Brooklyn director Ben Younger makes a complete change of direction, telling a remarkable life story with Bleed For This.

Ask director Ben Younger about his new film, Bleed For This, and he glows with enthusiasm: eyes flashing behind his large glasses, he'll talk eagerly about the energy among the cast and the stress of shooting a period boxing drama on such a tight budget. Ask him about his first movie, the 2000 crime drama Boiler Room, and the words flow less easily. There's a hint of regret in his voice, a pause or two as he thinks about exactly the right response: not because the movie wasn't any good - far from it, in fact - but because, he suggests, its success came a little too early and easily.

“Bleed for This” may look like any number of boxing movies that chronicle the career of a prize fighter, but the film is more about what legendary boxer Vinny Paz did outside the ring than inside. Based on the true story of Paz’s remarkable recovery after a car accident that left him with a broken neck, the movie stars Miles Teller as Paz and Aaron Eckhart as his trainer Kevin Rooney.

As if there wasn't enough pressure on actors when playing a real-life, living person, imagine getting text messages from that person to "not screw it up." That's what happened with Miles Teller who portrays the charismatic and determined boxer Vinny Pazienza in Bleed For This who made a comeback to the ring after a severe spinal injury. Vinny Pazienza told Teller to put a banana in his "undies" and "eat nails for breakfast kid" while shooting. Watch as Teller explains the process of becoming Vinny Pazienza for Bleed For This, and the tips he got from Vinny.

5th Writethru, Sunday Am: Updated analysis Warner Bros. is calling the weekend for its Harry Potter spinoff Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them at $75M with international pushing the global opening for the movie at $218.3M. Whenever there’s a big film like this in the U.S./Canada market, the tide can rise all boats or sink them, and this weekend was the latter with a trio of adult demo wide entries biting the dust, including STX Entertainment’s The Edge of Seventeen ($4.8M), Open Road’s Bleed For This ($2.36M) and Sony’s wide expansion of Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk ($930K) – the latter another clever tech casualty for TriStar in the wake of last fall’s Twin Towers love letter The Walk ($10.1M domestic).

In Bleed for This, Miles Teller plays real-life Rhode Island boxer Vinny Pazienza, who after breaking his neck in a car accident, begins a long recuperation that includes wearing a "halo" metal brace around his head and ultimately fights to return to the ring.
The film, written and directed by Boiler Room's Ben Younger, has received a number of rave reviews, including from The Hollywood Reporter's chief film critic Todd McCarthy, who called it "a gritty, pungently Rhode Island working class-set boxing drama that connects with most of its punches."

Heroes are a vital component of supporting the ideals, and helping, their society, but are unfortunately often only remembered in the immediate aftermath of their courageous actions. But some idols so gallantly define the odds in their contributions to their community that they’re long remembered by the people whose lives they impacted. That’s certainly the case with famed former professional boxer, Vinny Paz (who was known by his birth name, Vinny Pazienza, when he won his five world titles). Even after surviving a tragic car accident, the boxer was able to bravely overcome his injuries in order to enter the ring again and prove his everlasting worthiness as a fighter. [ Read More ]

The boxing drama “Bleed for This” has a powerful story and a strong lead performance in its corner, but falls short of knockout status. Hampered by clichéd writing and stereotypical portrayals, this extraordinary true-life account feels run-of-the-mill. As written and directed by Ben Younger (“Boiler Room”) it’s not a bad movie; it’s just too familiar and conventional. No doubt the comeback of Vinny Pazienza (a.k.a. “the Pazmanian Devil”) after a near-fatal car crash, a broken neck and paralysis must have felt like a cinematic win from the moment it was pitched. The tale’s powerful dramatic arc is undeniable.

In case this year's World Series didn't already make it obvious enough, sports will never, ever stop offering up underdog stories that defy everyone's expectations. In the realm of boxing there is perhaps no greater comeback story than that of Vinny Pazienza, a rising boxer in the '90s whose career was cut short after a car accident left Pazienza with a broken neck. Or, at least it should have been cut short. Every doctor and specialist Pazienza met with told him that...

Miles Teller portrays boxer Vinny Pazienza in an unbelievable comeback story that was too outrageous even for the big screen. Pazienza returned to the ring 13 months after breaking his neck in a head on car collision. He was so determined to enter the ring once again, he started working out five days after the accident. Teller, Aaron Eckhart who portrays his trainer Kevin Rooney, Katey Sagal as Vinny's mom and director Ben Younger chime in on whether Vinny Pazienza is truly a maniac.

Miles Teller isn’t the only actor who could have played Vinny Paz, the real-life boxing champion of Ben Younger’s shamelessly rousing sports drama Bleed For This. You can tell from the obligatory end-credits appearance by the actual Pazienza that Teller’s frame isn’t nearly stocky enough, even after bulking up significantly for the assignment. And the star’s Italian stallion routine, with his blue-collar Rhode Island braggadocio, is a little labored. There is, however, a reason, beyond vague facial resemblance, that Teller nabbed this role, and it becomes abundantly clear around the time that Vinny Paz refuses a sedative from the doctor who’s about to remove the metal screws from his skull. This lightly fictionalized version of the boxer is as stubborn, driven, and masochistic as the entirely fictional drummer Teller memorably portrayed in Whiplash. And even that guy didn’t risk a severed spinal chord...

It was hard to figuring out during the latest boxing movie, Bleed for This, if I was watching a spoof called “Not Another Boxing Movie!” It worked for horror films and teen movies after all. But the filmmakers behind this project, improbably, are not kidding. They purport to take themselves seriously, even though the film is so cartoonish in some of its clichés that you won’t be able to. And you don’t have to: since the entire thing is rethreaded from other films, the movie feels more like a failed exercise in satire.
Bleed for This tells the story of Vinny Pazienza, played with the required trashy Northeastern accent by Miles Teller (New Jersey is the state of choice this time around). There is the hysterics-prone mother with an oversized perm (do you spot Melissa Leo? Oh, wait, this time it’s Katey Sagal, at least), the mostly...

When you mix a talented young actor with the Oscar bait that is a boxing film, you almost always get an awards contender. This week, a new one opens in Bleed for This, which has Miles Teller in the lead role. Is it a lot like other recent boxing movies? Yes. Does that mean it’s not able to stand on its own? No, especially with how good Teller is. This flick obviously hopes to make a dent with Oscar at the end of the year, but whether or not that happens, it’s a worthwhile true life sports tale with a tremendous performance at its center. The film is based on the true story of boxer Vinny Pazienza (Teller), who staged one of the sport’s greatest comeback stories. A scrappy fighter who always took too many shots to the head, he also has had to deal with an overprotective family,...

This is a reprint of our review from the 2016 Telluride Film Festival.
It’s to the credit of the boxing picture “Bleed For This” that it goes nine, ten, or maybe even 11 rounds before it’s clear just which way the final decision is going to go. That’s not a reference to the outcome of the movie’s climactic 1990s match between Miles Teller’s real-life Vinny Paz character and Roberto Duran, but rather the movie’s own bout between its better instincts and the need to wrap up on the most simplistically crowd-pleasing note possible.

MaryAnn’s quick take…
If there is something new to be said about boxing, Bleed for This doesn’t find it. Sucks all the energy out of a story that should have been a can’t-miss. I’m “biast” (pro): don’t mind a good boxing movie…
I’m “biast” (con): …but I’m not a fan of the sport
(what is this about? see my critic’s minifesto)
If there is something new to be said about boxing in a movie, Bleed for This does not find it. If there is something new to be said about incredible true-life tales of survival, Bleed for This does not find it. Does Our Hero defy the odds? He does. Does he climb his way back to success and make an unlikely comeback that nobody but nobody could ever have imagined? You bet. Does the human spirit triumph? Of course it does.

“It was such a leap for me, going from Whiplash, playing this little kid who’s getting smacked in the face, to playing Vinny Pazienza, five-time world champion, badass warrior, the man,” says Miles Teller, the 29-year-old star of Ben Younger‘s boxing drama Bleed for This (in theaters Nov. 18), as we sit down at the Savannah Film Festival to record an episode of The Hollywood Reporter‘s “Awards Chatter” podcast. “I owe so much to Ben. I didn’t meet a casting director for it. It was Ben who said, ‘Miles is my guy.'”

At this point in the Oscars 2017 race not all of the films that are likely to garner awards attention have even been screened yet for the press, let alone made their way to the big screen for general audiences.

At this point in the Oscars 2017 race not all of the films that are likely to garner awards attention have even been screened yet for the press, let alone made their way to the big screen for general audiences. This leaves many of the categories still up in the air, with one of the biggest being the contest for the best actor trophy.

Looking ahead to the movies heading to cinemas in time for Christmas...
The festive season is a great time to go to the pictures. There’s nothing quite like taking solace when it’s cold outside by cramming in with some like-minded folk to see a (hopefully) great movie.
Unsurprisingly, Hollywood studios have cottoned on to this. Year on year, there seems to more and more choice at the cinema come Christmas time. It’s almost like a second summer season, in terms of the sheer volume of major movies on offer. This isn’t likely to change any time soon, especially when you look at the cash banked by Star Wars: The Force Awakens last Christmas. And that's not to mention the festive season's nearness to the Oscar race, which means that the major movies keep coming well into January.

"I don't mind the pain..." A new UK trailer has arrived for boxing drama Bleed For This, starring talented young actor Miles Teller as World Champion Boxer Vinny Pazienza. Paz started to rise in the boxing world in the early 90s, winning the junior middleweight world title, but broke his neck in a serious car accident. Doctors told him he may never walk again, but Paz returned to the ring thirteen months after the accident and made one of the greatest comebacks in the history of boxing. The cast includes Katey Sagal, Ciarán Hinds, Aaron Eckhart, Ted Levine, Kimberly Howe and Amanda Clayton. Both Teller and Eckhart give fantastic performances in this powerful story of overcoming hardship and fighting to do what you love. Here's the new official UK trailer for Ben Younger's Bleed For This, direct from YouTube: The inspirational story of World Champion Boxer Vinny Pazienza (Miles Teller...

There’s something about boxing movies that gets butts in seats regardless of so many being practically the same story. The formula almost always concerns some type of personal and professional redemption and Ben Younger‘s Bleed for This is no exception. Being a true telling of Vinny Pazienza’s (Miles Teller) arduous journey back into the ring after a near-fatal car crash severed his neck, however, means it possesses some substance beyond the old “washed up” bid for revenge against the press or a former coach/manager who’s now inexplicably repping the opponent. Some of that is present too, but it takes a backseat to watching a tenacious young man beat the odds to prove mankind’s resilience rather than facilitate the usual melodramatic quest of honoring a fridged family member.
Our introduction to Paz is by watching him get beat for the third time in a row...

When you look at Miles Teller in person, you don’t think “World Champion Boxer” – but an additional 20 pound of muscle fixes that. When you see Aaron Eckhart, you don’t think “overweight alcoholic coach” – but with an additional 40-or-so pounds of fat and a half-bald head, that changes. When see the cast of Bleed For This, you don’t think “an uplifting true story that defies all odds” – but after you watch Ben Younger’s no-punches-pulled biopic about Vinny Pazienza, I guarantee you will. This is a boxing drama that scrappily battles for its recognition, determined to win you over at any cost.
As you might have already gathered, Teller stars as Rhode Island’s own boxing phenom, Vinny Pazienza. Starting out as a Lightweight, Vinny strings together an impressive streak of wins before suffering from a near-death dehydration experience. That’s when coach Kevin Rooney (Aaron Eckhart) decides...

Monday's aren't usually so exciting, but last night was one of the biggest nights at the Toronto International Film Festival so far, and it definitely made our blues go away.
La La Land dazzled Toronto last night, and simultaneously became an Oscar frontrunner. Emma Stone, Ryan Gosling, J.K. Simmons, Rosemarie DeWitt and John Legend arrived at the Princess of Wales to introduce the Canadian premiere of the new film from Whiplash director Damien Chazelle, who was also in attendance. La La Land is an original musical that stars Gosling as a traditionalist jazz pianist, and Stone as an aspiring actress, as they struggle through their careers in Los Angeles while falling in love. We're betting on the film to win the People's Choice Award at the festival, and probably lots of Oscars.

Telluride Film Festival programmers Tom Luddy and Julie Huntsinger pride themselves on curating the cream of the Hollywood crop, which has included Best Picture Oscar-winners “The King’s Speech,” “Slumdog Millionaire,” “Argo,” and “12 Years a Slave.”
However, even a Telluride hit needs amplification from noisy Toronto as they head into awards season.
Launched at Venice and Telluride, Lionsgate’s “La La Land” has propelled Emma Stone and, possibly, costar Ryan Gosling into awards contention. How the audacious musical fares with critics and audiences will impact how far it goes with the Academy, who will give “Whiplash” nominee Damien Chazelle points for ambition and a relatable showbiz story. This film boasts passionate supporters, while many others don’t get the movie at all. The larger media presence in Toronto and New York will continue to ripple out and build must-see for the movie. So far I am discerning a slight generational divide,...

2016 has been the year of boxing films, from “Hands of Stone” to “The Bleeder” and now “Bleed For This” starring Miles Teller, which made its world premiere Friday evening at the Telluride Film Festival. The movie, directed by Ben Younger (“The Boiler Room”), is based on the true story of Vinny Pazienza, a world champion boxer who, after a near-fatal car crash, made one of sport’s most incredible comebacks. The first reviews are in, and while critics are split, more than half side favorably with Teller.
IndieWire’s David Ehrlich gave the film a C and suggests if you’ve never seen a boxing movie before, “don’t start with this one.”
“Every original drop of “Bleed for This” is lost in a sea of cliché and convention, and Younger seems totally incapable of separating the singular verve of his protagonist from the hackneyed arc of his defining ordeal.

“Southpaw.” “Hands of Stone.” “Grudge Match.” Hollywood churns out so many mediocre boxing movies these days you might be fooled into thinking that they’re profitable. Only superhero fare is so consistently familiar and obvious, so quick to dilute the unique spirit of their heroes into a generic swirl of big victories that leave you feel like you’re standing in place.
It’s easy to understand why filmmakers are consistently drawn to them — what better way to test and celebrate a character’s spirit than to watch them take a thousand punches to the face? And yet — as a confidant tells Vincenzo Edward Pazienza at the start of Ben Younger’s disposable “Bleed for This” — “Will can only take you so far.” If you’ve ever seen a boxing movie before, you don’t need me to tell you that the true story of “The Pazmanian Devil” is going to prove that guy wrong.

It’s to the credit of the boxing picture “Bleed For This” that it goes nine, ten, or maybe even 11 rounds before it’s clear just which way the final decision is going to go. That’s not a reference to the outcome of the movie’s climactic 1990s match between Miles Teller’s real-life Vinny Paz character and […]

Bleed for This is a gritty, pungently Rhode Island working class-set boxing drama that connects with most of its punches. Based on the colorful life of pugnacious fighter Vinny Pazienza, a champion in three different weight categories who dramatically defied doctors and the odds when he returned to the ring after breaking his neck in a car accident, this welcome return by Boiler Room writer-director Ben Younger can’t help but hit some familiar boxing picture notes but still rates as a vibrant addition to the genre. After film festival rounds, this Open Road release should reap moderate-to-

The story of Vinny Paz, who broke his neck and still got back in the ring, is sensational. But this boring, miscast film, screening at Telluride, fails to connect
Everyone has a boxing film in them. But Miles Teller already did his. An ambitious talent driven to breakdown by his coach; a rise, a fall and a rise again: it hardly mattered that jazz drumming was Whiplash’s game. It was a better boxing drama, a better sports drama, a better film, than Bleed for This, a biopic of Rhode Island fighter Vinny Paz that goes toe-to-toe with genre cliche and ends up on the canvas.
Teller plays “the Pazmanian Devil”, a real-life boxing champ who, after breaking his neck in a car crash, defied doctors’ advice and got back in the ring. Aaron Eckhart is Kevin Rooney, the booze-beaten coach who still has enough fight in him to help the champ back to greatness.

It’s as reliable as a compass: Every year, on the Thursday before Labor Day, the Telluride charter from Los Angeles to Montrose, Colo. is a core sample of hopes for the Oscar season. (The contenders on my flight included executives from Amazon, Netflix, The Orchard, Open Road, Paramount, Plan B, and Fox Searchlight, along with movie stars Rooney Mara and Isabelle Huppert.)
It’s an honor to be selected for Telluride, certainly, but everyone’s nerves are tuned for the films’ receptions. The Labor Day weekend festival has launched a number of eventual best-picture winners, including “Slumdog Millionaire,” “The King’s Speech,” “Spotlight,” “Argo,” and “12 Years a Slave.” The buzz that begins here (or doesn’t) determines strategies as the films move on to future festivals in Toronto and New York.

The Telluride Film Festival has announced its lineup for the 2016 edition, which begins Friday. As usual, the exclusive Labor Day weekend gathering of industry insiders and midwestern movie buffs will offer a sneak peak at highly anticipated fall films, including several awards season hopefuls, alongside several favorites from the festival circuit, smaller discoveries and classic films.
Damien Chazelle’s vibrant ode to musicals of the past, “La La Land,” will head to Telluride fresh from the Lionsgate release’s successful opening night slot at the Venice Film Festival, while another Venice premiere, Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi “Arrival,” comes to Telluride courtesy of Paramount alongside a special tribute to star Amy Adams. Another tributee, Casey Affleck, will be in town with Sundance hit “Manchester By the Sea,” which Amazon famously acquired at the Park City gathering for a hefty price tag.

Proving he has a penchant for playing driven men (and doing it well), “Whiplash” star Miles Teller is taking on a new role as real-life boxer Vinny Pazienza in the upcoming “Bleed for This,” which just released its first trailer. Read: “The World’s Upcoming Bromance with Miles Teller” Based on the true story of the former lightweight, light middleweight, and super heavyweight title holder, Teller captivates as a loud-mouth athlete who defied medical odds after a devastating car accident left him with a fractured neck. “With this severe of an injury, one bump, one fall, any kind of movement, and your spinal cord could sever,” warns a doctor in the trailer. In hopes of fighting again Teller’s character declines to have his neck fused and instead opts for a risky “halo” designed to hold his head in place until his injuries heal. The trailer offers glimpses at his recovery process,...

Late last week, we got two Trailers for what appear to be serious Academy Award contenders in Bleed for This and Sully. They have almost nothing in common, except for one actor…Aaron Eckhart. He’s a main supporting player in both films, with potential Oscar consideration on the horizon. Eckhart has come close to his first nomination on at least two occasions, for Rabbit Hole and especially Thank You For Smoking (with some also being quite fond of his turn in The Dark Knight), but this is his probably his best shot in some time. Both with Bleed for This and Sully, he has the sorts of parts that voters often tend to fall under the spell of. We’ll see if Eckhart can woo them successfully this time around, but he’s certainly got a chance. You’ll see him in the Trailers for both below, but first,...

We saw Miles Teller play a drumming protégé in Whiplash, and now we’re going to see him play boxing superstar Vinny Pazienza on the big screen in Bleed for This.
The first trailer for Bleed for This was recently released, and it tells the true story of a young champion boxer who faces the potential of never walking again after a horrendous car accident. High-spirited and determined to win, Pazienza continues to train despite being in a head brace that is not conducive to boxing.
Aaron Eckhart and Katey Segal also star in what will likely be this year’s biggest boxing movie. The Fighter, Million Dollar Baby, and the Rocky movies have cemented boxing movies as surefire awards bait, and Bleed for This will probably be no exception.
Check out the new trailer below, and catch Bleed for This in Cineplex theatres November 23rd.

The forthcoming boxing flick is slated to hit theaters on November 23rd and also features big names like Aaron Eckhart, Amanda Clayton and Katey Sagal.
Per the synopsis, “Vincenzo Pazienza, known as the ‘Pazmanian Devil,’ became world champion in multiple weight classes, but after winning the Jr. Middleweight World title, he was in a serious accident that left him with a broken neck, leaving him paralyzed. He was told he would never walk again, let alone fight, but he kept working out and a little over a year after the car crash returned to the ring and won a match against Luis Santana.”...
