Orlando Bloom Stars in Upcoming Boxing Drama The Cut

The Cut is a gripping boxing drama directed by Sean Ellis, starring Orlando Bloom as a former champion known only as The Boxer, who returns to the ring for one last shot at glory after a decade-long absence caused by a career-ending injury. To qualify for a title fight following the unexpected death of another boxer, he must undergo an intense and potentially dangerous six-day weight cut under the supervision of a ruthless trainer named Boz, played by John Turturro. Caitríona Balfe co-stars as Caitlin, The Boxer's wife and trainer, who supports him while worrying about the toll the extreme training takes on his body and mind. The film explores themes of ambition, obsession, and the physical and psychological costs of chasing redemption, with a tense atmosphere that draws viewers into the protagonist's spiraling reality. Bloom also serves as a producer on the project, which features a screenplay by Justin Bull based on a story by Mark Lane. The Cut is scheduled for theatrical release on September 5, 2025, and promises a brutal, emotionally charged experience highlighted by high-octane training sequences and raw interpersonal drama.
