Jason from Mnpp here with a bit of exciting news today - Lenny Abrahamson, the director of this year's Oscar hopeful Room, is lining up his next project and it sounds fascinating. Based on the non-fiction book A Man’s World: The Double Life Of Emile Griffith, which was just published this past September (anybody read it?), it'll tell the story of the titular boxer, described by all with words like "gentle" & "innocent," who nonetheless beat his opponent Benny “The Kid” Paret into a coma (and death 10 days later) in a televised match after Paret called him "maricón" (Spanish for approximately "faggot") during a live weigh-in.
Thing is Griffith was in fact bisexual, and Abrahamson says that "he never seemed conflicted about his sexuality; indeed he found joy in it." Until he was called out in public, apparently. (Then again, it being 1962 when all this went down I suppose he...

Irish director Lenny Abrahamson is attached to direct a film based on the life of Emile Griffith, a professional boxer from the U.S. Virgin Islands who became a world champion in the welterweight and middleweight classes, and who also happened to be bisexual, and was public about it (keep in mind that this was during the 1950s to 1960s). His best known contest was a 1962 title match with Benny Paret. At the weigh in, Paret infuriated Griffith by touching his butt, and making homophobic remarks. Griffith won the bout by knockout. Paret, who, it's said, was vulnerable due to the beatings he took in his previous three fights leading up to the title match with Griffith (all of which...

With the buzz continuing to build for Toronto International Film Festival People’s Choice Award winner “Room,” director Lenny Abrahamson is using that momentum to get his next gigs going. In September he signed up to direct “The Little Stranger,” reteaming him with “Frank” star Domhnall Gleeson. And now he’s got a fascinating, true story pugilist picture brewing. The filmmaker will helm an adaptation of Donald McRae’s book “A Man’s World: The Double Life Of Emile Griffith.” The movie will tell the story of the titular boxer who lived secretly as a bisexual, and killed Benny “The Kid” Paret in the ring, after he called him a homosexual during a weigh-in before the fight. Here’s the book synopsis: On 24 March 1962, when Emile Griffith stepped into the ring in Madison Square Garden to defend his world title against Benny Paret, he was filled with rage. During their weigh-in,...

Following on from the rave reviews for "Room," director Lenny Abrahamson and producer Ed Guiney are re-teaming for a biopic about boxer Emile Griffith at Element Pictures and Film4.
The sweet natured Griffith won world titles in two weight classes, but is mostly remembered for his vicious brawl with Benny 'The Kid' Paret. Paret grabbed Griffith's ass during the weigh-in and called him homosexual.
Griffith was actually bisexual, but that was taboo in 1962 - especially in the macho culture of boxing. Soon after Griffith beat Paret into a coma in the ring during a live nationwide TV broadcast - Paret ultimately dying from his injuries. Griffith, and boxing, were vilified.
The film will be based on Donald McRae's book "A Man's World: The Double Life Of Emile Griffith". Abrahamson intends to adapt it with a co-writer and direct the film as soon as possible.

Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, the boxer whose wrongful murder conviction became an international symbol of racial injustice, died Sunday. He was 76. He had been stricken with prostate cancer in Toronto, the New Jersey native's adopted home. John Artis, a longtime friend and caregiver, told The Canadian Press that Carter died in his sleep. Carter spent 19 years in prison for three murders at a tavern in Paterson, N.J., in 1966. He was convicted alongside Artis in 1967 and again in a new trial in 1976. Carter was freed in November 1985 when his convictions were set aside after years of appeals and public advocacy. His ordeal and the alleged racial motivations behind it were publicized in Bob Dylan's 1975 song "Hurricane," several books and a 1999 film starring Denzel Washington, who received an Academy Award nomination for playing the boxer turned prisoner. Carter's murder convictions abruptly ended the boxing career of a former petty criminal who...

New York — Jazz composer Terence Blanchard couldn't have imagined how timely his opera about a gay boxer would become when he accepted a commission three years ago.
Blanchard's "Champion" – with a libretto by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Michael Cristofer – is based on the life of former world welterweight and middleweight champion Emile Griffith. Its world premiere at the Opera Theatre of St. Louis on Saturday comes just weeks after NBA center Jason Collins became the first active male pro athlete from one of the four major North American team sports to come out as gay.
Griffith's greatest triumph came in a nationally televised welterweight title bout in 1962 when he knocked out Benny "The Kid" Paret by battering him with 17 punches in seven seconds, sending his rival into a coma. Paret died 10 days later.
At the weigh-in, the Cuban-born Paret had angered Griffith by using an anti-gay Spanish slur. Thirty years later,...

It was easily the noisiest movie-theater crowd I've ever been in.
On Sunday, I sat among hundreds of sports fans screaming their heads off in a darkened auditorium in West L.A., as a bunch of professional athletes kicked a soccer ball -- and often each others shins -- on a soccer pitch halfway around the world.
The Rave 18 -- now part of the Dallas-based Rave circuit and formerly National Amusements' local Bridge multiplex -- charged $15 a head for the 3D event, which sold out two 300-seat auditoriums at the venue. A total of 25 U.S. theaters operated by various exhibitors offered the 3D gamecast by digital-cinema vendor Cinedigm, and several international circuits also have simulcast select Cup matches.
It's all part of the burgeoning trend of "alternative programming" for cinemas, involving entertainment other than movies that's generally offered in nonpeak theatrical hours. Previous 3D sporting events beamed into theaters in various locales include football,...

Ring of Fire: The Emile Griffith Story
PARK CITY -- The makers of "Ring of Fire: The Emile Griffith Story" tackle the issues, controversy and lingering effects of one of the most famous deaths in the sport of boxing with rigorous inquiry and open mindedness. The death of Benny "Kid" Paret at the lightning-fast hands of Emile Griffith in 1962 touches on themes ranging from violence in sports and the cult of machismo to media sensationalism, the role of fate and forgiveness and the taboo of homosexuality in virtually all sports. While looking at these issues, producers- directors Dan Klores and Ron Berger also create a profound portrait of a man haunted by a single moment in his otherwise glamorous past.
NBC has acquired the film for broadcast on USA Network, probably in April. It makes a great big screen movie, however, so a small theatrical release might bring in an interesting mix of sports fans and students of American cultural history.
On Saturday night, March 24, 1962, a national TV audience looked on in horror as challenger Griffith caught welterweight champ Paret, exhausted in the 12th round of their fight in Madison Square Garden, in a lonesome corner. In a pummeling that seemed interminable but in reality lasted only seconds, thus denying referee Ruby Goldstein a chance to intervene, Griffith knocked Paret senseless. He lapsed into a coma and died 10 days later. It was the first live death on in network television history. The sport was taken off the air for ten years.
Defying expectations, Griffith, actually a very gentle soul who admits he hates to get hit, went on to win and lose championships throughout the '60s and '70s. He retired in 1977.
Over the years, the story surrounding the tragedy has grown and deepened, and this is what the filmmakers explore. The bout was the third and final showdown between the fighters. Bad blood had grown between them since the first bout, which Griffith won.
An illegal immigrant from the Virgin Islands, Griffith attracted the attention of trainers due to his astonishing physique. He proved a quick study and his rise was meteoric. Yet whispers soon circulated in boxing circles that Griffith was gay. Nothing, of course, could be more at odds with a boxer's image. Nor could any boxer expect a career if such were the case.
Paret, a Cuban exile, taunted Griffith at the second fight and the weigh-in for the third with the Spanish slur maricon, which in American lingo means "faggot." What impact this really had on what happened is hard to say. Griffith and his trainers still insist the fighter, a superb professional athlete, only followed orders to batter his opponent until the ref intervened.
The film offers a much more telling fact during an interview with Gene Fullmer, who had all but destroyed Paret in a bout 100 days earlier. Fullmer says Paret's manager had no business letting his fighter back into the ring so soon after such a thrashing.
The movie ends with a touching and tearful meeting between Griffith, now physically and mentally weakened due to a brutal beating outside a bar in 1995, and Paret's now grown son, Benny Paret Jr.
As to the issue of his sexuality, Griffith admits he goes occasionally to gay bars and shrugs off questions about his homosexuality. People can think what they want, he says.
This is a magnificent and emotional look at a sports tragedy. It is enormously aided by commentary from such figures as Pete Hamill, Jimmy Breslin, Neal Gabler, Norman Mailer and a host of boxers as well as use of archival footage and popular music of that era that capture a time when America still largely dwelled in self-imposed innocence. The most telling song is the first one: James Brown's recording of "It's a Man's, Man's, Man's World."
