Liev Schreiber

... ~~that The Bleeder is set in 1975, when Chuck Wepner, portrayed by Liev Schreiber (pictured), challenged Muhammad Ali for the world's Heavyweight title?~~

ALT1:... ~~that Liev Schreiber (pictured) had been attached with the film The Bleeder for five years to play Chuck Wepner before its filming began?~~

Just a passing comment: both hooks are sort of dull. A movie has to be set in some period of time, and it's hardly unusual for an actor or some other person to be involved with a project for a long time before filming begins. Daniel Case (talk) 07:00, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

Also, "attached to" is more Hollywood idiomatic than "attached with". Vesuvius Dogg (talk) 18:47, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

ALT2:... that the upcoming film The Bleeder is about Chuck Wepner (portrayed by Liev Schreiber, pictured), who challenged Muhammad Ali in 1975 for the world's Heavyweight title?

Suggested another hook. --Captain Assassin! ^{«T ♦ C ♦ G»} 17:25, 27 December 2015 (UTC)

Though slightly concerned that this article could appear "promotional" it is nevertheless still a long way from release, and the DYK will have come and gone; besides, who isn't excited about seeing Liev Schreiber take off his shirt in the ring? Article new enough, long enough, well-supported with citations, neutral, free of copyvio problems per Earwig. All hooks supported by inline citations but ALT2 (suggested by the author-nominator) is my preferred hook (for reasons suggested by Daniel Case) and is also under the character limit.
