After
watching the movie trailer premiered with the song "Forgive Me
Now", by Eminem, I will talk to you about the movie and its
relationship with the Bo$$ Marshall Mathers, on December 13, 2010,
DreamWorks acquired the film, with Eminem eyed to play the lead role, as
you can see he interpreted nearly the story of the film on his latest
video Guts Over Fear featuring Sia, the song's subject matter
concerns Eminem and his struggles as an artist, and touches
on moments of his career, but the music video of the song took some
captures from the film Southpaw, the film's screenwriter Kurt Sutter said
the project was inspired by Mathers' struggles. He added that he has met
Marshall's producing partners over the past seven years, looking
for something to do together.
"I
know he's very selective and doesn't do a lot. But he shared so much of his
personal struggle in this raw and very honest album, one that I connected with
on a lot of levels. He is very interested in the boxing genre, and it seemed
like an apt metaphor, because his own life has been a brawl. In a way, this is
a continuation of the 8 Mile story, but we are doing a metaphorical narrative
of the second chapter of his life. He'll play a world champion boxer who really
hits a hard bottom, and has to fight to win back his life for his young
daughter. At its core, this is a retelling of his struggles over the last five
years of his life, using the boxing analogy. I love that the title refers to
Marshall being a lefty, which is to boxing what a white rapper is to hip hop;
dangerous, unwanted and completely unorthodox. It's a much harder road for a
southpaw than a right handed boxer. There is a rich story here that references
his own experience, and I was honored to be able to continue a relationship
that began with 8 Mile."
The film features another icon of Rap, 50 Cent plays a promoter who’s part of the entourage of Gyllenhaal’s character, a left-handed welterweight champion who wins a title as his personal life falls apart, Southpaw drama, which also stars Forest Whitaker and Rachel McAdams, was written by “Sons of Anarchy” creator Kurt Sutter.
