New international poster for the upcoming film “Fighting,” starring Channing Tatum (GI Joe) and Academy Award nominee Terrence Howard (Iron Man), has been released.
Small-town boy Shawn MacArthur (Channing Tatum) has come to New York City with nothing. Barely earning a living selling counterfeit goods on the streets, his luck changes when scam artist Harvey Boarden (Terrence Howard) sees that he has a natural talent for streetfighting. When Harvey offers Shawn help at making the real cash, the two form an uneasy partnership.
As Shawn's manager, Harvey introduces him to the corrupt bare-knuckle circuit, where rich men bet on disposable pawns. Almost overnight, he becomes a star brawler, taking down professional boxers, mixed martial arts champs and ultimate fighters in a series of staggeringly intense bouts. But if Shawn ever hopes to escape the dark world in which he's found himself, he must now face the toughest fight of his life.
“Fighting” is both written and directed by Dito Montiel (A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints). The script was co-written by Montiel and newcomer Robert Munic. Rogue Pictures will debut “Fighting” in theaters on April 24th 2009.
