A tale of triumph: The story behind "Giant"
Directed by Rowan Athale and with a script that's been years in the making, 'Giant' delves into the gritty, inspiring journey of Prince Naseem "Naz" Hamed (played by Amir El-Masry), from his humble beginnings in Sheffield to becoming a world boxing champion.

As Brosnan embraces the fighting spirit, fists curled and ready for action, it's clear that 'Giant' is more than just a sports movie—it's a story of heart, determination, and the unbreakable bond between a fighter and his mentor.
Shooting in Yorkshire: A homecoming for a hero's tale

As Brosnan steps out in his blue tracksuit, transforming into "Brendan Ingle," and Amir El-Masry channels the spirit of Prince Naseem, 'Giant' is poised to captivate audiences with its raw emotion, thrilling action, and the incredible true story of two men who dared to dream big. Get ready to cheer, cry, and be inspired by this powerhouse film that's set to redefine the boxing movie genre.
