Some quotes of Fuqua who is promoting "The Equalizer":

Quote:

You had just come back from “Olympus Has Fallen,” why not “London Has Fallen”? Wasn’t in the cards for you?
FUQUA: I didn’t like the script. I just finished “Southpaw” with Jake Gyllenhaal, we’re in the editing process now, but I didn’t like the script.

“Equalizer” is set in Boston, “Southpaw” is set in Boston…
FUQUA: “Southpaw” is set in New York, but I shot it in Pittsburgh. I did a week in New
York, then I had to shoot a lot of it in Pittsburgh, my hometown.

What are we expecting from that? I just saw “Nightcrawler,” he’s amazing in that.
FUQUA: I love him in “Nightcrawler.” Wait until you see him in “Southpaw,” you’re gonna believe he’s a boxer, you won’t even recognize him.

Did he pack on the weight?
FUQUA: He got to light heavyweight, ripped to shreds, a whole different look, a whole different attitude. I took him to every fight, trained him. Me and Denzel have the same boxing trainer, he’s been boxing for 20 years, I’ve been boxing for 15. Every day took him to Mayweather’s gym, had him training in New York at the Church gym, at Pound for Pound in LA, in Pittsburgh my office was a full-size ring, we took over a whole building. I immersed him in that, and when you see him I promise you it’s gonna blow you away.

Another quote from Fuqua:

Quote:

SSN: You next film, Southpaw, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, incorporates parenthood and family loss. What inspired you to go in that direction?
Fuqua: I have children now. I have a daughter and I couldn’t imagine what happens in that movie happening to me. It became more personal to make movies.

I seriously can't WAIT to see this film.

Also posted this in the music thread but it was announced that Harry Gregson-Williams will compose the music for Southpaw.

Thanks for the info, Lindsey! I always find it so interesting to see how the films come together.

Just came across this tweet:

Quote:

She is playing Gloria according to IMDB

Thanks for sharing it, Lindsey! I wonder when we'll start to see things from this one. Is it weird that it feels like it's been forever since they shot it?

winterbird · 11-02-2014, 05:37 AM

Yeah I agree, it does feel like a while ago when it's only been a few months since they wrapped.

Collider has a new interview with Jake for "Nightcrawler" and he mentioned Southpaw as one of his upcoming films. He only mentions is, sadly not a quote on the movie and/or filming experience.

amanda s. · 11-02-2014, 11:50 AM

And I presume there have been no quotes on his new girlfriend Rachel McAdams?

winterbird · 11-04-2014, 10:48 AM

Good one Amanda

Deadline is reporting that Jake and director Fuqua already set up their next project: "The Man Who Made It Snow"
