SPOTLIGHT ON AARON ECKHART
Aaron Eckhart’s blistering breakout role in Neil LaBute’s In the Company of Men ignited a promising career in which he continued his acclaimed independent work with LaBute (Your Friends & Neighbors, Nurse Betty, Possession) while developing a notable profile in Hollywood features (Erin Brockovich, Thank You for Smoking, The Black Dahlia, The Dark Knight). Eckhart’s supporting role in Ben Younger’s hotly anticipated Bleed for This assures another outstanding performance.

When horrifying injuries from a car accident threaten to derail the future of boxing champion Vinnie Pazienza (Miles Teller), he refuses to accept that his career could be over. Instead, he stages one of the greatest real-life comeback stories in sports history, with the covert assistance of veteran trainer Kevin Rooney (Aaron Eckhart). A satisfying physical and emotional workout, Bleed for This is this generation’s Raging Bull. US 2016, 134 min Director Ben Younger
