Resurrecting The Champ on DVD

Italia6 · 04-04-2008, 01:57 PM

Samuel L. Jackson And Josh Hartnett Star In 'Resurrecting The Champ'; On DVD April 8
When a struggling sports writer with dreams of big-time stories rescues a homeless man from an attack by a gang of street thugs, he unwittingly finds himself with a one-time boxing legend believed to be dead in Resurrecting The Champ, arriving on DVD April 8th from Fox Home Entertainment.

Discovering Bob "The Champ" Satterfield is actually alive could be the story of a lifetime and the title shot the young journalist has been waiting for. What begins as an opportunity to bring back to life the memory of a boxing great turns into an incredible journey and a chance for the ambitious reporter to examine his own life and relationship with his family.

Inspired by the 1997 Los Angeles Times Magazine article written by J.R. Moehringer and directed by acclaimed filmmaker Rod Lurie ("Commander in Chief," The Contender), Resurrecting The Champ stars Samuel L. Jackson (Home of the Brave, Pulp Fiction), Josh Hartnett (30 Days of Night, Pearl Harbor), Kathryn Morris ("Cold Case"), Teri Hatcher ("Desperate Housewives") and Alan Alda (The Aviator, "The West Wing").

Up-and-coming sports reporter (Hartnett) rescues a homeless man named "Champ," (Jackson) only to discover that he is, in fact, a boxing legend believed to have passed away. What begins as an opportunity to resurrect Champ's story and escape the shadow of his father's success becomes a personal journey as the ambitious reporter reexamines his own life and his relationship with his family.

DVD Special Features:
The Resurrecting The Champ DVD will be presented on a single disc in widescreen (2.35:1 aspect ratio) with English 5.1 Dolby Surround with English and Spanish subtitles. Bonus features include:
- Making Of featurette
- Cast and Crew Interviews

**Jocasta** · 04-10-2008, 04:11 AM

Does anyone have their copy yet? Mine is still winging it's way from the US.

Win a copy here. (US er's only.)

Soss · 04-10-2008, 04:34 AM

Simon has said he does not want me buying anything to do with Josh again! So l'll have to wait untill my sister gets back from her holiday, and ask her to get it for me....!
There are acouple on ebay already.

**Jocasta** · 04-10-2008, 04:37 AM

I say "boo!" to Simon!

If I knew, I'd have ordered 2 copies.

Soss · 04-10-2008, 05:25 AM

Thanks hon, I said more than BBOO! to him, pain in the A**!!
He'll be ok, he goes through times like this. If he thinks lm on the forum too much, and now l have Facebook, his well put out! SHAME! 'Get over it!'

aloha · 04-10-2008, 05:50 AM

I guess Hoot is the luckiest Bunny here with her hubby also liking Josh

I´m still waiting to here if or when it will be out here

**Jocasta** · 04-23-2008, 04:00 AM

Got my copy a couple of days ago and... I love it, especially the second half when things start to fall apart for Erik, Josh plays those scenes so well... as a parent watching the Career Day scene with Teddy was heart breaking.
In Rod Lurie's commentary he says a lot of really nice things about Josh's performance; about his subtlety and the honestly deep in his eyes (something like that).

(On a side note, can one of the mods change the typo in the title of this thread, Champ not Chump!)

Soss · 04-23-2008, 05:51 AM

Lucky you, l'll have to get my copy now my sister is back from her hol's! x
Hey! Never noticed the 'chump' thing before....................

aloha · 04-23-2008, 05:59 AM

I´m still waiting to get to see in one day in my life

Italia6 · 04-23-2008, 06:31 AM

Hoot is really lucky with her hubby in this case.
Kate I suppose that is great to have this movie and watch them in great copy etc.
