First Look: Jharrel Jerome Stars In New Film ‘Unstoppable’ Premiering This September At TIFF

Emmy Award-winning Actor, Jharrel Jerome is no stranger to playing the role of America’s heroes and cinema’s best protagonists. This time, Jerome brings his talents to the Amazon / MGM-distributed film, ‘Unstoppable,’ directed by Academy Award-winning William Goldenberg and produced by Artists Equity. This film is a biopic for the incredible story of Anthony Robles (Jharrel Jerome), a three-time All-American wrestler who was born with one leg and defied many odds in his life to make history as an athlete. ‘Unstoppable’ is named after Robles' 2012 book of the same name, Unstoppable: From Underdog to Undefeated: How I Became a Champion, co-written by Austin Murphy.

In the film, Jerome performs the grit and tenacity of the NCAA Division 1 Champion wrestler who has positioned himself in history as an unstoppable force. Jharrel Jerome stars alongside Golden Globe Award-winning and MCU’s megastar Don Cheadle, Jennifer Lopez, and Michael Peña in this highly anticipated film which premieres this September at the Toronto International Film Festival.
