50 hosted a private screening of Southpaw this past Sunday:

Quote:

On Sunday evening, Fitty will host a private screening of “Southpaw” at his hotel for Mayweather, and hopes the champ will in a good place after a win. But for now, he’s just trying to get him revved up.

“I’ve got to get him pumped up, I’ll tell him, f--- him up! You gotta kill him! Ain’t but one number one, that kinda stuff,” he said.

His “Southpaw” co-star and real life BFF Jake Gyllenhaal will join him in Vegas for the screening. In addition to that huge bet he hopes to win, Fitty will cash a check for a cool $500,000 after performing a few hits on Friday at Drai’s nightclub on the Strip.

Cannes: Harvey Weinstein Vows Jake Gyllenhaal Will Get Oscar Nom for ‘Southpaw’

The Weinstein Co.’s Cannes presentation is always an early launching pad for fall awards season. But on Thursday afternoon at the Majestic Hotel, Harvey Weinstein actually started handicapping the 2016 Oscars race from the South of France.

Joined by jury member Jake Gyllenhaal onstage, Weinstein said it was an outrage that the star was snubbed for his performance in “Nightcrawler,” which was released by Open Road Films last fall. “We’ll get revenge,” Weinstein said. “This transformation in ‘Southpaw’ is amazing,” Weinstein added about the upcoming summer movie directed by Antoine Fuqua, in which Gyllenhaal plays a professional boxer. Weinstein revealed that “Southpaw” had been selected for Cannes, but it couldn’t play in competition because Gyllenhaal is a member of the jury.

COO David Glasser opened the event by telling the international crowd that 2015 would be a strong year for TWC. After a series of clips premiered, Gyllenhaal, Sienna Miller (“Adam Jones”) and Alicia Vikander (“Tulip Fever”) took the stage.

Variety attended and graded some of the strongest and weakest trailers that debuted. Many of these films don’t have release dates yet, though the more Oscar-friendly movies will probably open near the end of the year.

Southpaw
Even though Weinstein compared the film to “Raging Bull,” it also looks like an entertaining summer crowd-pleaser. The new trailer reveals a plot twist involving Rachel McAdams (who plays Gyllenhaal’s wife) that suggests her role in the film might not be large. The drama, which showcases another major transformation for Gyllenaahl, comes across as “Rocky” meets “The Pursuit of Happyness.”
Grade: A-

The Little Prince
This film based on the classic children’s story is the most promising animated pic to come out of the Weinstein Co. in years.
Grade: B+

Forever devastated they couldn't do Southpaw promo at Cannes since he's a member of the jury!

Thanks for the article! I was and still am really surprised to read the movie actually got selected for Cannes. I wonder why they didn't give it an out of competition screening.

On the positive side: It's really impressive that they got selected. I mean I'm super bumped they didn't make it to the final selection but the Cannes film line-up is really competitive and especially the competition one is a big deal.

Variety's article about it:

Quote:

Jake Gyllenhaal’s upcoming boxing movie “Southpaw” got an early, star-studded private screening at Cannes on Friday.

Adrien Brody, Michelle Rodriguez and Antonio Banderas were among the celebrities at the event aboard a private yacht.

Festival delegate general Thierry Fremaux introduced the sneak screening, which was also attended by singers Mary J. Blige and Charli XCX, as well as models Adriana Lima and Dita Von Teese, by praising Gyllenhaal’s performance as “one of his best.”

Fremaux, a self-proclaimed sporting enthusiast, said the movie beautifully captures a sport that usually doesn’t read well on the bigscreen.

“This sport is so well-filmed on television that it’s very hard to get the same feeling in the cinema on screen like Martin Scorsese did with ‘Raging Bull,’” he said. “But this film is so strong and credible. We believe Jake is a boxer first.”

Audiences were shown a sneak peek of the film at the Weinstein Co.’s Cannes presentation last week, where Harvey Weinstein himself vowed that Gyllenhaal would get an Oscar nomination for the Antoine Fuqua-directed, Kurt Sutter-penned pic.

“We’ll get revenge,” Weinstein said. “This transformation in ‘Southpaw’ is amazing,”

Weinstein revealed that “Southpaw” had been selected for the Cannes Film Festival, but couldn’t play in competition because Gyllenhaal was a member of the jury.

“Southpaw,” which also stars Rachel McAdams, Forest Whitaker and Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, hits theaters on July 24.
