Usher will play Sugar Ray Leonard in “Hands of Stone,” a boxing biopic that will focus on legendary fighter Roberto Duran, who will be played by Gael Garcia Bernal. Robert De Niro will play trainer Ray Arcel in the film.

“If you see me in the corners boxing,” he told BBC News, “I’m in preparation for a very incredible role. If you guys see me running around London, that’s what it is.

Usher says that he hasn’t met Leonard yet, but that could change when the cast begins filming later in 2012. Did you ever watch Roberto Duran fight? If so, do you plan to see “Hands of Stone”?

Casa de mi Padre -New Official Trailer – Will Ferrell, Diego Luna, Gael Garcia Bernal

17, 2012 3:33pm

Lionsgate, Pantelion Films, Gary Sanchez and Nala Films are releasing the new Will Ferrell comedy “Casa de mi Padre” – a Spanish language film from the non-Spanish-speaking people behind “Anchorman,” written by Funny or Die creative head Andrew Steele and directed by long-time SNL writer Matt Piedmont.

Will Ferrell plays Armando Alvarez, his brother is portrayed by Diego Luna, and their nemesis, La Onza, by Gael Garcia Bernal. The film is a mosh-pit of hilarity stemming from the satirical manner in which the entire project was approached, part telenovela soap opera, part classic western (painted sets and all).

Coming out on March 16, 2012, here’s the first official full-length trailer.
