'Bleed for This' Trailer Gives Miles Teller a Knockout Comeback Story

Will Miles Teller box his way to a 2017 Oscar nomination? The "Bleed for This" trailer just premiered -- exclusively on People, Entertainment Weekly, and Sports Illustrated -- showing Teller as former world boxing champion Vinny "Paz" Pazienza in an inspiring comeback story based on real events.

The trailer starts with Vinny working out like a demon to make his 140 pound weight -- flashing some impressive sixpack abs in the process. The Rhode Island fighter, nicknamed "The Pazmanian Devil," was later seriously injured in a car accident, and it looked like he might not walk again. But he defied the odds, healing enough to not only fight again, but to win another championship.

Check out the trailer:


Aaron Eckhart plays boxing trainer Kevin Rooney, with Katey Sagal and Ciarán Hinds as Paz's parents.

"Bleed for This," directed by Ben Younger and executive produced by Martin Scorsese, is scheduled to open for limited release November 4, with a wide release on November 23. That's just in time for the holidays ... and Oscars season?
