‘Day Of The Fight’: Read The Screenplay For Jack Huston’s Debut Feature About One Man’s Fight For Redemption
Day of the Fight, the indie drama written and directed by Jack Huston, stars Michael Pitt as a boxer looking redemption.
Michael C. Pitt, Nicolette Robinson, John Magaro, Steve Buscemi, Ron Perlman and Joe Pesci star in the pic, shot in black and white, which had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival in its Horizons sidebar. Set across the day ahead of the fight that night at Madison Square Garden, Mikey journeys through the streets of Brooklyn, reconnecting with those he loves the most as he attempts to write the wrongs of his past. Huston told Deadline in Venice that he was inspired to dig into his first project as writer-director partly after watching Stanley Kubrick’s 1951 short documentary film of the same name, following then-world welterweight champ Walter Cartier on the day of a fight also at Madison Square Garden.
