ComingSoon.net has your exclusive first look at a new clip from director Rod Lurie’s Resurrecting the Champ, in theaters on August 24.
In the film, up-and-coming sports writer Erik Kernan (Josh Hartnett) saves a homeless man (Samuel L. Jackson) from a scrape with a group of rowdy college kids. He unwittingly finds himself face to face with no ordinary bum, but Champ, the one-time boxing great Bob Satterfield. What begins as a story resurrecting a once-great man turns into an incredible journey, and an opportunity for Erik to reexamine his own life, his relationship with his young son and his recently separated wife.
