Rockwell Plays Miske In Biopic

"A Single Shot" director David M. Rosenthal and actor Sam Rockwell are set to re-team on a biopic about 1920s boxer Billy Miske says Screen Daily.



The pic will be based on author Clay Moyle's book "Billy Miske: The St. Paul Thunderbolt".

Miske was diagnosed in his prime with Bright's disease, a fatal condition in which the kidneys fail. Instead of walking away, he tells no one and keeps boxing even though he’s withering away.

Michael Costigan is set to produce.
