Two New Featurettes & TV Spots For Boxing Comedy ‘Grudge Match’

Coming from 50 FIRST DATES and GET SMART director Peter Segal, all-star boxing comedy GRUDGE MATCH may well hit us with a surprise one-two with its upcoming release.

The film is led by Oscar-winning heavyweights Robert De Niro and Sylvester Stallone as two local Pittsburgh fighters whose fierce rivalry put them in the national spotlight. In their heyday, each had scored a victory against the other, but in 1983, on the eve of their decisive third match, one of the duo suddenly announced his retirement, refusing to explain why but effectively ending both their careers.  However, thirty years later, boxing promoter Dante Slate Jr., makes them an offer they can’t refuse: to re-enter the ring and settle the score once and for all.

We’ve two new featurettes (along with the first which we showcased a few days ago) and two new television spots for the film set to swing in cinemas in the US on the 25th December and the UK 17th January 2014.

GRUDGE MATCH co-stars Alan Arkin, Kim Basinger, Jon Bernthal and Kevin Hart.

Craig was our great north east correspondent, proving that it’s so ‘grim up north’ that losing yourself in a world of film is a foregone prerequisite. He has been studying the best (and often worst) of both classic and modern cinema at the University of Life for as long as he can remember. Craig’s favorite films include THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, JFK, GOODFELLAS, SCARFACE, and most of John Carpenter’s early work, particularly THE THING and HALLOWEEN.
