Pierce Brosnan plays boxing trainer Brendan Ingle in the true story.<\/p>\n
Amie El-Masry stars as Naseem Hamed, the champion boxer whom Ingle trains.<\/p>\n
Pierce Brosnan<\/a> transforms in the new trailer for the boxing drama Giant.<\/p>\n Based on a true story, the Sylvester Stallone<\/a>\u2013produced sports film stars Brosnan as famed Irish trainer Brendan Ingle, and the 72-year-old is almost unrecognizable in the latest look at Giant.<\/p>\n The project from writer-director Rowan Athale tracks the relationship between Ingle and prizefighter Naseem Hamed (Amir El-Masry), whom Ingle helped raise from the streets of Sheffield, England, to become a world champion.<\/p>\n The trailer acknowledges the wave of racism that the British-Yemeni boxer dealt with during his run to the top of the sport. “They hate you because you’re different,” Ingle tells a young Hamed. “Embrace it.”<\/p>\n \u201cI think the story of Naz and Brendan teaches us to have courage and belief in yourself,\u201d Brosnan told The Independent<\/a>. \u201cWith a good heart, good mind, good passion, and good discipline, you can do anything you choose to do. I was lucky to start my life as an actor in community theatre in Brixton, south London. And once I found that, I found a home, and great strength. I\u2019m hoping Giant will inspire some lads and lasses, too.\u201d<\/p>\n Get your daily dose of entertainment news, celebrity updates, and what to watch with our\u00a0EW Dispatch newsletter<\/a>.<\/p>\n The James Bond actor has been amidst a bit of a renaissance of late, starring in Steven Soderbergh’s Black Bag, Christopher Columbus’ The Thursday Murder Club<\/a>, and Guy Ritchie’s hit crime series MobLand<\/a>.
