Exclusive: Edgar Ramírez, the double Golden Globe and Emmy nominated actor who played Gianni Versace in FX’s lauded limited series The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story has boarded Jennifer Garner’s Netflix movie Yes Day.

Adapted by Justin Malen (Office Christmas Party), Yes Day is based on the children’s book by Tom Lichtenheld and Amy Krouse Rosenthal.

Entertainment 360 and Grey Matter Productions are also producing.

This weekend brings a rare event as three very different specialty films face off nationally on between 800-900 theaters. Debuting “Southside With You” (Roadside Attractions) and “Hands of Stone” (Weinstein) go up against “Hell or High Water” (Lionsgate) in its third week.
The winner is “Hell or High Water,” which after this weekend’s success could wind up the year’s highest-grossing specialized release. “Southside With You” also scored high numbers, with “Hands of Stone” not up to its level.
Five Sundance releases are among this week’s new films, ranging from relatively wide opener “Southside” to Video on Demand entry “The Intervention.” As the Toronto Film Festival looms, the Park City event, despite offering half as many films, remains the biggest festival for acquisition titles.
Opening
“Southside With You” (Roadside Attractions) – Metacritic: 75; Festivals include: Sundance, San Francisco, Seattle 2016
$3,065,000 in 813 theaters; PTA (per theater average): $3,762

Ang Lee has been working on developing a 3D film based around the historic boxing match between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier that is known as the Thrilla In Manila. The project was originally set up at Universal Pictures after he won the Best Director Oscar for his work on Life of Pi. The film's development ended up falling apart, but now it’s making a comeback!
The film will offer audiences an "epic look at the boxing world of the 1960s and 1970s, as seen through the prism of its biggest rivalries and greatest fights.” The film will also put the focus on other boxers from that era, such as George Foreman, Marvin Hagler, Tommy Hearns, Robert Duran, and Sugar Ray Leonard.
According to the Deadline, Lee is scouting locations and is looking for this film to be his next project. He just finished shooting the big screen adaptation...

Last night Harvey Weinstein invited industry figures and selected press to see a sizzle reel of The Weinstein Company’s upcoming releases, and a very solid slate they have too. First up was Adam Jones, a kind of Jerry Maguire with pots and pans, starring Bradley Cooper as an American restaurateur who moves to London to change the face of upscale dining (yes, you read that correctly). With a cast that includes Sienna Miller, Uma Thurman and Emma Thompson, mainstream success seems likely. Two boxing movies followed, one fictional, one not. The first, Southpaw, has already gained Oscar buzz for a transformational performance by star Jake Gyllenhaal, and the clips did not disappoint. Rather than a Raging Bull-style biopic, the film suggests more of a psychological drama, with the star playing a former boxer whose life spirals out of control after the death of his wife, returning to the...

The Weinstein Company has closed a deal for U.S. distribution rights to the Edgar Ramirez starrer Hands of Stone. Venezuelan helmer Jonathan Jakubowicz directed the film, which centers on boxer Robert Duran and his mentor and trainer Ray Arcel, who is played by Robert De Niro.

While 3D has mostly be used to plumb the depths of futuristic worlds (thanks James Cameron) or make summer movies more explosion-y, rare has been the filmmaker who has attempted to use the format as texture rather than simple technique. Martin Scorsese succeeded with his lovely "Hugo," Wim Wenders earned praise for "Pina" and Ang Lee wowed both audiences and critics with last year's "Life Of Pi." And it seems Lee is smitten with wearing those chunky glasses, because his next feature will boldly venture into three-dimensions once again. Deadline reports that Lee is setting up his next flick at Universal, and it's going to be boxing drama...in 3D. Really. Even more, it's going to track the sport during the '60s and '70s, tackling the various rivalries in the sport, presumably touching upon pugilists like George Foreman, Marvin Hagler, Tommy Hearns, Robert Duran and Sugar Ray Leonard.

Late in 2010, seemingly on the back of David O. Russell's "The Fighter" and all its success, Gael Garcia Bernal and Al Pacino boarded "Hands Of Stone," a biopic of legendary Panamanian boxer Robert Duran which had Venezuelan helmer Jonathan Jakubowicz set to direct. One of Duran's most famous fights was of course against the undefeated Sugar Ray Leonard and, with the film seemingly growing legs recently, an unconventional choice has now been cast to play Leonard.
BBC report that R&B artist Usher will play Leonard, a boxing champion in five different weight divisions who only lost once in 38 fights before two straight defeats in the '90s in the twilight of his career. It'll be interesting to see hust how Usher, whose featured in a handful of films including 2010's "Killers," will manage both the acting and sporting side of things. "I'm in preparation for a very incredible role.
