After a streak of spectacular back-to-back hits at Sundance this year with “Spectacular Now” and “Whiplash” and “Divergent” – Miles Teller is roped in to play young boxer Vinny Panzienza in the upcoming film Bleed For This.
The film “Bleed for This,” will be written and directed by “Boiler Room”‘s Ben Younger and executive produced by Martin Scorsese. The plot revolves around a young boxer who has to recover from a terrible automobile accident. In reality, the boxer would come back to the ring with the help of trainer Kevin Rooney played by Aaron Eckhart.
And, Teller as he told is quite near to the character as he had been through this and faced that. As a teenager he was thrown out of the car and was faced with severe injuries. The scars still remained with him. Hope it would put blood and soul to the character like never before.
