Keith Woolford Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 Hands of Stone premieres at Cannes In his career and lifetime, Panama's legendary Roberto Duran has gone from hero to zero and back again. Last night had to be one of his most memorable evenings. The film Hands of Stone, chronicling his rivalry with Sugar Ray Leonard, starring Robert DeNIro and Edgar Ramirez, premiered at the prestigious Cannes film festival. Both Robertos were honored as the post screening event became a love-in for DeNiro. After some rough press lately, this is a positive event for Panama, imo. The movie opens in late August. Quote
Roger B Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 I know that Roberto Duran speaks a very awful english but he looks to communicate very well with De Niro. Maybe De Niro speaks spanish. Quote
