Songs

What's left behind the scenes

  • Initially, the project was considered an unofficial sequel to the 2002 film «8 Mile» starring Eminem (who is actually left-handed). However, the script eventually underwent significant changes and this idea was abandoned.
  • Although Eminem did not star in the film due to his active musical life, he composed the soundtrack for «The Leftovers» and performed one of the songs himself – «Phenomenal».
  • The original title of the film, “Southpaw,” refers to boxing terminology, denoting the stance more commonly used by left-handed boxers.
  • Due to a small budget, the director did not have the funds to pay James Horner for composing the film's music. However, James liked the film's concept so much that he wrote the music for free.
  • Lupita Nyong'o was considered for the role of Angela Rivera, but she had to leave the project due to her commitment to “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” (2015).
  • In preparation for his role, Jake Gyllenhaal studied the boxing style of Miguel Cotto.
  • Ryan Gosling, Bradley Cooper, and Jeremy Renner were considered for the lead role in this film.
  • Initially, Harry Gregson-Williams was supposed to be the film's composer. He even stated in an interview at the end of 2014 that he had already begun writing the music. However, shortly thereafter, it was announced that James Horner would be the composer.
  • The scenes of boxing matches in Las Vegas and Madison Square Garden were filmed in two weeks. Both matches were actually filmed at Indiana University in Pennsylvania.
  • The film is dedicated to the memory of composer James Horner.
  • Initially, the project was considered an unofficial continuation of the film “8 Mile” (2002) starring Eminem (who is actually left-handed). However, the script ultimately underwent significant changes and this idea was abandoned.
  • Although Eminem did not star in the film due to his active music life, he composed the soundtrack for “Southpaw” and performed one of the songs himself – “Phenomenal”.
