“Sometimes Life Is Like A Movie. Sometimes It’S Better”
Watch the trailer for the upcoming movie Chuck – we can’t wait for this one! In theaters May 5th.
Directed by Philippe Falardeau, Chuck stars Naomi Watts, Ron Perlman, Elisabeth Moss, Liev Schreiber, Jim Gaffigan, and Morgan Spector.
He was the pride of Bayonne, New Jersey, a man who went fifteen rounds in the ring with Muhammad Ali, and the real life inspiration for Rocky Balboa. But before all that, Chuck Wepner (Liev Schreiber) was a liquor salesman and father with a modest prizefighting career whose life changed overnight when, in 1975, he was chosen to take on The Greatest in a highly publicized title match.
It’s the beginning of a wild ride through the exhilarating highs and humbling lows of sudden fame—but what happens when your fifteen minutes in the spotlight are up?

Patrick “Lights” Leary is a retired boxer who has been out of the game for five years since his last fight ended in the stolen loss of his championship. Now he’s a devoted family man who would do anything for the people in his life. But that life is about to come crashing down harder than the final blow of Forman vs Ali at The Rumble in the Jungle in 1974. Between his daughters and the IRS, Lights will come face to face with a decision that could damage his perfect life, forever. Review: The first thing that really strikes me about Patrick “Lights” Leary is how much of a family man he is, especially when you compare him to many other characters in the FX line up. Tommy Gavin, Jax Teller, Louie C.K., all these characters have similar family values to Lights, but unlike the rest, Lights’ family is still intact. I...

Levy-Hinte began as an editor, working on Leon Gast's Oscar-winning boxing documentary When We Were Kings. The powerful, joyous Soul Power is constructed from footage of the twelve-hour concert in Zaire that was meant to accompany the 1974 "The Rumble in the Jungle" fights shown in that film, always known a definitive R&B event. But the footage hadn't been seen in years. There was such a wealth of material for Kings that footage hadn't even been cut together, and was stored in various places. The result, drawing only upon contemporary footage, is thrilling for being such a piece of anachronism: a great documentary experience drawn from film left fallow for almost thirty-five years. It looks downright fresh yet outright of its production era.
