Gael Garcia Bernal is going to play boxing legend Roberto Duran
in an upcoming biopic entitled “Hands of Stone”. Al Pacino is also rumored to be interested in playing the part of boxing trainer
Ray Arcel. Newcomer Jonathan Jacubowicz (“Secuestro Express”) will write, direct, and produce the film.

“Hands of Stone” will explore the inside story of the famous “No Mas” fight, between Duran and Sugar Ray Leonard.

Duran and Leonard squared off on three separate occasions—the most infamous being the so-called “No Mas” fight. That 1980 match in Louisiana Superdome saw Leonard best Duran in eight rounds. In the closing seconds of the last round, Duran turned his back to Leonard and quit, saying “No Mas” (“no more” in Spanish).

Duran beat Leonard in an earlier welterweight championship bout. They would meet again in a 1989 middleweight championship fight in Las Vegas. Leonard won that fight in 12 rounds.

¨Roberto Duran is not only the best lightweight of all time, he’s also an inspiration for oppressed people around the world, and a legendary hero for those who believe a culture’s honor can be fought in the ring,” Jakubowicz told TheWrap.

While there is a lot of momentum behind the script, especially as an attempt to appeal to the Latin American market, the film has not been entirely greenlit yet. Ben Silverman will also produce.

It'd be professional to see Al Pacino in a movie about a Boxing legend.

Duran is(ancestry wise) half Mexican, so its not really farfetched.

...unless the guy looks nothing like Duran, of course.

He's a white looking Mexican.

Diego Luna would have been a better Duran.
