The Cinderella Man
The Cinderella Man
Release Date: June 3, 2005 Studio: Universal Pictures Director: Ron Howard Screenwriter: Cliff Hollingsworth, C. Gaby Mitchell, Akiva Goldsman Starring: Russell Crowe, Renée Zellweger, Craig Bierko, Paul Giamatti, Paddy Considine, Bruce McGill, Ron Canada Genre: Drama Summary: Russell Crowe stars in the story inspired by the life of legendary athlete Jim Braddock, a once-promising light heavyweight boxer forced into retirement after a string of losses in the ring. As the nation enters the darkest years of the Great Depression, Braddock accepts a string of dead-end jobs to support his wife, Mae (Zellweger), and their children, while never totally abandoning his dream of boxing again. Thanks to a last minute cancellation, Braddock finds himself back in the ring against the second-ranked world contender--and to everyone's amazement, Braddock wins in the third round. Despite being pounds lighter than his opponents and repeated injuries to his hands, Braddock continues to fight against challengers and win. Carrying on his shoulders the hopes and dreams of the disenfranchised masses, Braddock, dubbed the "Cinderella Man," faces his toughest challenger in Max Baer (Bierko), the heavyweight champion of the world, renowned for having killed two men in the ring.

Yikes! That's early. I'll bet there's no final score ready for it. It was recently delayed from March to June for better placement, box office or whatever.. or maybe they need some feedback to help decide when to release it.

Does the movie include the Rush song "Cinderella Man" off the classic A Farewell To Kings album.
