‘Bobcat Moretti’, the new boxing drama from Different Duck Films, has been in the press quite a bit recently. Deadline recently reported that star (and New York stage actor) Tim Realbuto (Yes; Lost In Yonkers) lost 154 pounds to play the title character, the most any actor has for a role in cinema history.

Hollywood icons Tony Todd (the original “Candyman”), Bai Ling (“The Crow”), and Robert Picardo (“Star Trek: Voyager”) will star in the upcoming social media themed horror film “WEREWOLF GAME.” Joining them are the also previously announced Lydia Hearst (“Z Nation”) and Teala Dunn (“Are We There Yet?”). 

Johnny Strong (Black Hawk Down, The Fast and the Furious, Get Carter) and Marko Zaror (Undisputed 3: Redemption, Machete Kills) star in the action thriller INVINCIBLE. Michael Paré and Sally Kirkland also star. Watch the trailer for the new film now!

In order to successfully complete the film, Mr. Realbuto had to lose over 100 pounds while filming as stated in his contract. After losing 154 pounds, he broke the world record for most weight lost for a movie role in cinema history. The record was most recently held by Christian Bale, who reportedly lost 63 pounds for 2004’s ‘The Machinist.’
