Metro International has just announced the upcoming release of “Salvable,” a gripping boxing-world crime-drama that is sure to captivate audiences. The film will feature an impressive cast including Toby Kebbell, known for his roles in “Servant,” Shia LaBeouf from “Fury,” and James Cosmo, who has graced screens in “Game of Thrones.”
“Salvable” centers around the life of Sal, also known as “The Bull,” a once-promising boxer who finds himself on the brink of 40, facing not only his opponents in the ring but also his inner demons. As Sal grapples with a life of regrets and fading dreams, a glimmer of hope appears with the introduction of illegal boxing, thanks to the return of his old friend Vince. However, this newfound opportunity presents a difficult choice for Sal: either seize this chance at resurgence or prioritize his relationship with his daughter, Molly.
The film will be directed by the talented UK-based music video directing duo, Björn Franklin and Johnny Marchetta of Franklin & Marchetta. This project will mark the debut feature for this exciting duo, who are known for their visually stunning work in the music industry.
