Sep 20, 2007 - Super-busy Terrence Howard (The Brave One, Iron Man) has joined the cast of Dito Montiel's second feature film, Fighting. Howard joins Channing Tatum who's reuniting with his A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints director for this action drama.
Rogue Pictures also announced the casting of Zulay Henao as single mother Zulay Velez, Luis Guzman as Martinez, and professional fighter Cung Le. According to Rogue Pictures, production is starting this week in New York City. Kevin Misher will be producing the film with Montiel directing and working on the final screenplay.
The Official Fighting Synopsis
Fighting is a rough-hewn heroic tale about realizing dreams of glory, putting audiences ringside at high-stakes underground street fights. Tatum stars as Sean Arthur, a young man who scrapes up a living hustling counterfeit merchandise in NYC. With family tragedy in his past and his father keeping him at a distance, this outsider has little to motivate him. A chance encounter with veteran street-fighting coach Harvey Boarden (Howard) leads to a whole new career for Sean. The ensuing bouts get tough, especially with the criminal element horning in, so Sean gets tougher. He will fight to win, not only the prize money but also the unexpected new relationships that are strengthening him.
