Grudge Match Trailer – Rocky Balboa & Jake La Motta take to the ring

September 13, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Who would win in a fight between Rocky Balboa & Jake La Motta? I’m sure many have wondered about that hypothetical situation, where the stars of Rocky and Raging Bull meet in the ring. Now we’re going to get as close to that as we ever will, as Sylvester Stallone & Rober De Niro step back in the ring for Grudge Match.

The film is about two retired boxers (De Niro and Stallone) who step back into the ring to settle an old score. Jon Bernthal will play De Niro’s estranged son, who feels conflicted about training his father. Kevin Hart, Kim Basinger, and Alan Arkin have also signed on to star.

Peter Segal is directing, with a Christmas US release set and the film reaching the UK on January 17th. [Read more…]

Whoever had the idea of putting Sylvester ‘Rocky’ Stallone and Robert ‘Raging Bull’ De Niro in a boxing movie together was a pretty smart cookie, as it’s certain to drum up interest in the film.

Grudge-Match-set-photoWhoever had the idea of putting Sylvester ‘Rocky’ Stallone and Robert ‘Raging Bull’ De Niro in a boxing movie together was a pretty smart cookie. The film, Grudge Match, is now shooting, and we’ve got our first look via a set photo release by @W_Whitehill on Twitter, featuring De Niro, Stallone and basketball star Robin Lopez.

Alan Arkin Has A Grudge Match With Sylvester Stallone & Robert De Niro

November 9, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Do you fancy watching a lot of older men punching each other? Well, Grudge Match is the movie for you, which will see Sylvester Stallone and Robert De Niro as aging boxers who head back into the ring against one another. Now they have some company, as Variety reports that Alan Arkin has signed up for the movie.

The film is said to want to evoke the spirit of Space Cowboys, although rather than seeing old guys go into space, this one has retired boxers Billy “The Kid” McGuigan and Henry “Razor” Sharp (De Niro and Stallone), who were bitter rivals during their pugilist careers, coaxed out of retirement for one last bout. However these aren’t guys who gave up fighting a couple of years ago, as their last match-up was 40 years ago. Alan Arkin will be channeling his best Burgess Meredith playing Stallone’s manager. Kim Basinger and Kevin Hart also star.

Tim Kelleher wrote the original draft of the screenplay, with Entourage creator Doug Ellin providing the most recent rewrite. Peter Segal (Get Smart) will direct, although it isn’t known when the film might shoot.

Kim Basinger Has A Grudge Match With Stallone & De Niro

November 3, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Putting Raging Bull’s Robert De Niro and Rocky’s Sylvester Stallone in the ring together is certainly an interesting idea, and that’s what’s happening in Grudge Match. Now the two stars have some female company, as Variety reports Kim Basinger has joined the cast of director Peter Segal’s (Get Smart) film.

The film is said to want to evoke the spirit of Space Cowboys, although rather than seeing old guys go into space, this one has retired boxers Billy “The Kid” McGuigan and Henry “Razor” Sharp (De Niro and Stallone), who were bitter rivals during their pugilist careers, coaxed out of retirement for one last bout. However these aren’t guys who gave up fighting a couple of years ago, as their last match-up was 40 years ago. Kim Basinger will play a woman with ties to both characters.

Sylvester Stallone and Robert De Niro are in talks to take the lead in the Warner Bros. boxing comedy Grudge Match. It’s been a long time coming, as back in October 2012 Warner was eying the actors for the Peter Segal (Get Smart) directed film, but it’s only now that they’re officially in talks.

However these aren’t guys who gave up fighting a couple of years ago, as their last match-up was 50 years ago! Doug Ellin penned the latest draft of the film.
