Raging Bull and Rocky get into the ring for an onscreen face off in GRUDGE MATCH. In the new trailer to the Robert DeNiro and Sylvester Stallone film, the two are out to beat each other in the ring.
Who would have thought that the actors behind two of the most iconic boxing characters on film would collaborate on a comedy about retired boxers coming back to settle a score. I bet no one ever thought that the names DeNiro and Stallone would be sharing a movie poster together, but we shouldn't be surprised since DeNiro seems up for anything (ie. Machete).What do you think about the on screen match up of these two Hollywood legends? GRUDGE MATCH New Character Movie Posters
Official Synopsis:
Award-winning movie legends Oscar® winner Robert De Niro (“Raging Bull,” “Silver Linings Playbook”) and Oscar® nominee Sylvester Stallone (the “Rocky” films, “The Expendables”) star as old boxing rivals who come out of retirement for one final match. De Niro and Stallone play Billy “The Kid” McDonnen and Henry “Razor” Sharp, two local Pittsburgh fighters whose fierce rivalry put them in the national spotlight. Each had scored a victory against the other during their heyday, but in 1983, on the eve of their decisive third match, Razor suddenly announced his retirement, refusing to explain why but effectively delivering a knock-out punch to both their careers. Thirty years later, boxing promoter Dante Slate Jr., seeing big dollar signs, makes them an offer they can’t refuse: to re-enter the ring and settle the score once and for all. But they may not have to wait that long: on their first encounter in decades, their long-festering feud erupts into an unintentionally hilarious melee that instantly goes viral. The sudden social media frenzy transforms their local grudge match into a must-see HBO event. Now, if they can just survive the training, they may actually live to fight again.
