CIUDAD DE PANAMÁ (OTR/PRESS)
Tom Cruise podría dar vida al mítico boxeador panameño Roberto Duran, más conocido en el mundo pugilístico como 'Mano de piedra'. O al menos este es el deseo del mítico deportista que aseguró que yale ha comunicado al propio Cruise que su sueño es verse en la gran pantalla encarnado por la ciencióloga estrella de Hollywood. Según afirmó Durán en una entrevista concedida al espacio deportivo 'Estadio W' de la radio panameña, el proyecto ya está en marcha y aseguró que el nombre del protagonista de 'La Guerra de los mundos' y 'Misión Imposible' es el que se bajara para protagonizar su biopic.
'Ya se está negociando con la casa que producirá la película, apuntó en declaraciones al programa recogidas por OTR/Press, en las que también reveló que las conversaciones 'están muy avanzadas'. 'Mano de piedra', apodo que se ganó por el poder de sus puños, se proclamó por primera vez campeón mundial de los ligeros el 26 de junio de 1972 en Nueva York, al derrotar por K.O. en el decimotercer asalto al escocés Ken Buchanan.

El récord de 'Mano de Piedra', una de las estrellas del Salón de la Fama del Boxeo Mundial, es increíble, 119 peleas con 103 victorias (70 por KO) y tan solo 16 derrotas. Mucho gimnasio le espera a Cruise si finalmente se decide a dar vida al mítico púgil.

Holyfield that was in Panama said that Tom will need a nose job, because he has a very big nose

"Realmente no sé nada de la película; dice que Tom Cruise protagonizará el papel; si es así, tendrá que operarse la nariz porque la tiene muy grande", señaló.

I don't know about Tom Cruise.... but I'm amped about "The Fighter", I like Mark Whalberg playing Micky Ward. I wonder who will play Gatti.

[jopez707]

Resurrecting the champ is a fictional story...I wonder if these other one will be biopics?

[dwilson]

Gatti will be played by the great British comedian Joe Pasquale.

[Jinx]

Tom Cruise would not look right playing Duran...Antonio Banderas would look much better in that role...

[brooklyn1550]

Tom Cruise as Roberto Duran?:patsch

[Fab2333]

Tom Cruise as Roberto Duran?:patsch
WORD, :huh

[marauder1999]

Tom Cruise??

[Hawks28]

Tom Cruise as Roberto Duran?:patsch

I agree completely. It just doesnt make much sense. there has to be someone out there better suited to that role.

I'm looking forward to that Mickey Ward movie though.

[Lampley]

I'd rather it be Benicio Del Toro. Cruise is a fairy. I bet Duran will be pissed.

[pipe wrenched]

Fuckin Tom Cruise:yuck :barf :verysad :huh :lol:

[Brickhaus]

Tom Cruise would be horrible. So would Banderas - he's 6'2" for crying out loud. Del Toro's like 6'5". John Leguizamo might make a good Roberto Duran. Wilmer Valderrama might be okay too, except he can't act.

Leguizamo is perfect. THe Mickey Ward movie is going to be my favorite movie ever, I already know it. Wahlberg was the freaking man in Four Brothers, he pretty much was Ward or Gatti in that movie!

[Shake]

Oy, not Tom Cruise. First off, we need a guy in his mid-twenties. Making someone look a little older is easy.

Not. Tom. Cruise.

[ko factor]

How about George Lopez? :D

[Fab2333]

How about George Lopez? :D:rofl:nut:lol:

[Brickhaus]

banderas isnt 6'2

You're right - much shorter than I thought - 5'9". Maybe then, but he's still more of a middleweight than a lightweight.

[faisal]

tommy is 45 years old, you'd need some 1 ripe to play duran. an actor in there early/mid 30s that can maintain there youth like de caprio, matt damon
or that weener off prison break
why the hate against tommy, hes been in some pritty excellent performances, collateral,mission impossible, top gun, born on the 4th, gerri maguire, far and away ........

[Shake]

I don't want a recognisable 'name'. I want a solid actor who can pull off a Panamanian street urchant convincingly.

Cruise reminds me off a lot of things, but the streets of Panama is not amongst them.

[Motor City Sam]

How about George Lopez? :D

I'd prefer going old school with Paul Rodriguez.

[Butch Coolidge]

John Leguizamo played a convincing boxer but he just looks too kind to be Duran, although Duran in everyday life is supposed to be a super nice guy.

[justaboxingfan]

Does anyone agree all boxing movies take away a rather lot from the realism, especially when they're filming in the ring 'sparring'? Boxers are one of the most gifted athletes and it doesn't do me much good to see a 50 yr old hollywood actor beating on a legit champ.:deal

Speaking of boxing movies, Eminem is rumoured to star in a boxing movie portraying Dmitri Salita. Just curious how that will turn out.:think

Luis Guzman

[Stinky gloves]

Agree, he is short enough :rofl

[Alo2006]

Dayum, Holyfield looks really old in the pick.

[djrock247]

Great pick to play Duran, spot on! The casting agent for this film is truly gifted.

I hope they get Carrot Top to play Sugar Ray Leonard. Oh, and Meredith Baxter Birney is a dead ringer for Thomas Hearns.

[chung]

makes sense

[GazOC]

I don't know about Tom Cruise.... but I'm amped about "The Fighter", I like Mark Whalberg playing Micky Ward. I wonder who will play Gatti.

Gatti?

[Jinx]

You're right - much shorter than I thought - 5'9". Maybe then, but he's still more of a middleweight than a lightweight.

Banderas still would be perfect...he already has experience in a boxing role, and the difference between a middleweight and lightweight won't look so obvious in a movie...

[carras]

they should make Gael garcia to play duran

[jecxbox]

I think Ali with will smith and james toney playing Joe Frazier is as good as its ever going to get as far as boxing movies! That movie was amazing.:bbb
