Amazon MGM Studios on Thursday unveiled first-look photos for Unstoppable, its wrestling drama based on the true story of Anthony Robles, which stars Jharrel Jerome (Moonlight), Jennifer Lopez (Hustlers) and more.
Set to world premiere at this year’s Toronto Film Festival, the film will then debut in select theaters across the U.S. and UK this December. Check the photos out above and below.
An adaptation of the book Unstoppable: From Underdog to Undefeated: How I Became a Champion by Anthony Robles and Austin Murphy, the movie chronicles the athletic journey of Robles (Jerome), who despite being born without a right leg and growing up in an abusive household, rises to become a NCAA Division I champion wrestler, ultimately winning a national championship against the school that rejected him, national powerhouse Iowa.
This film marks the directorial debut of William Goldenberg, the veteran editor who won an Oscar for his work on Argo — the Best Picture winner from Ben Affleck, whose Artist Equity is Unstoppable’s producer. Scripted by Eric Champnella and Alex Harris and John Hindman, the drama also stars Bobby Cannavale, Michael Peña and Don Cheadle.
Producers are Artists Equity‘s Affleck and Matt Damon; Nuyorican Productions’ Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas; Coonskin Cap’s David Crockett; A Really Good Home Pictures’ Andy Fraser; Gary Lewis; and Robles. EPs are Artists Equity’s Dani Bernfeld and Michael Joe, Kevin Halloran, and Jack Murray.
