Couch Potato Club:
Gael Garcia Bernal has been signed on to play five-time boxing champ Roberto Duran in Hands of Stone. Roberto Duran is one of the greatest boxers of all time. He boxed 1968 (age 16) till 2002 (age 50). In 1980, he beat Sugar Ray Leonard to win the welterweight title. In one of boxing history’s more controversial moments, though, Duran quit in the middle of their rematch; resulting in the infamous “no mas” match. Hands of Stone (also Duran’s nickname) will center around that infamous match.
This should be a great film. Like Raging Bull before this movie has a great character. One of the things it should include is Duran's weight problems and why he boxed way too long.
