Jharrel Jerome's Incredible Comeback in 'Unstoppable' Trailer

Over a month after premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival, Amazon MGM Studios has released the trailer for the biographical wrestling drama Unstoppable, which will have a limited theatrical release in December. The film stars Jharrel Jerome and Jennifer Lopez and is directed by the acclaimed William Goldenberg, marking his directorial debut. Eric Champnella, Alex Harris and John Hindman penned the script, which was based on the 2012 book Unstoppable: From Underdog to Undefeated: How I Became a Champion by Anthony Robles and Austin Murphy.

As described by Amazon MGM, Unstoppableis the inspiring true story of Anthony Robles (Jerome), who was born with one leg but whose indomitable spirit and unbreakable resolve empowered him to defy the odds and pursue his dreams. With the unwavering love and support of his devoted mother, Judy (Lopez), and the encouragement of his coaches, Anthony fights through adversity to earn a spot on the Arizona State Wrestling team. But it will demand everything he has, physically and mentally, to achieve his ultimate quest to become an NCAA Champion.

'Unstoppable' Is A Captivating Watch

Also starring in Unstoppable are Bobby Cannavale, Michael Peña and Don Cheadle. Plus, Robles, whose book this inspiring production is based on, is seen in the film and dubbed “Anthony Robles Double,” performing wrestling moves and stunts. He is also a producer on the film alongside Ben Affleck, Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas, Andrew Fraser, Gary Lewis, and David Crockett. In addition, Unstoppable is produced by Artists Equity, Affleck and Matt Damon’s production company.

In Collider’s review, Jerome’s performance in Unstoppable was singled out and described as “a force of nature” who embodied the character perfectly. The review reads:

“The actor's performance is captivating from start to finish, making it impossible not to care for the character he is playing, but also empathize with the challenges posed by a person with a disability living in a complicated household. His wrestling scenes are well-choreographed and riveting, with precise camera angles and lighting to make them even more appealing to the viewer. Jerome also has undeniable chemistry onscreen with Lopez, during their emotional mother-son sequences, as well as with Cheadle, when they have mentor-mentee interactions. Although both supporting roles aren't as layered as they could be, the importance of the protagonist's relationship with these characters comes across on screen.”

Unstoppable will screen in select theaters on December 6 before premiering on Prime Video on January 16, 2025. Check out its trailer above!

My list of must-try jean trends for 2026 is growing; it currently includes all the silhouettes one denim expert revealed to me as the must-watch of the year (save for baggy jeans, because I’ve been wearing those for years). That said, one style that didn’t land on said aforementioned list, but is clearly due for big, big things this year, is flare jeans. With a growing list of celebrity fans that includes Meghan Markle, Jennifer Lopez, Reese Witherspoon, Cindy Crawford, Kendrick Lamar (you know that moment), and, of course, Amal Clooney, there’s no denying the retro denim style that was popular in the early aughts is back—and bigger than ever.

The fact that Clooney wore flared jeans is noteworthy in and of itself. The human rights lawyer is known for her refined dressing approach, regularly opting for billowy trousers, trendy boho blouses, and comfy sweater dresses—all staples that read elegant and timeless. So, when I spotted her earlier this year in the laid-back blues while out to dinner with hubby George Clooney, I knew I had to write about it. Of course, the fact that she wore flare jeans, the style countless celebs have worn the last few weeks, is noteworthy, too, as it further cements the style’s ‘It’ status for 2026.

Clooney opted for a pair of medium-wash jeans with subtle fading (another Y2K reference, IMO). Her blues had an ultra-high waist—so high, in fact, that they appeared to hit at the ribcage. It’s the complete opposite of the controversial low-rise denim, so it’s a possible sign that the high-high waist is coming back, too. Not to mention, Clooney’s jeans had a slightly oversized fit from the thighs to the ankles, but it’s that flared hem that has all my attention; it’s taking me back to my middle school days when I’d wear my True Religion flares every single day. (No joke.)

It’s undeniable that Clooney’s jeans have that nostalgic flair (ahem, flare, wink, wink), but it’s also undeniable that celebs are clamoring to the style because it’s incredibly flattering. The blues basically act like an optical illusion, making legs look super long, especially when paired with a style that has an extra-long hemline and sky-high platforms á la Lopez; the singer is 5-feet-5-inches, but don’t you agree with me that she looks way taller in these jeans? Yeah, that’s thanks to the flares. The flare hem and longer inseams help create the look of legs for days, but add in a high-waisted cut, platform heels, and a crop top, and you’ll fool people into thinking you’re inches taller. 

Leg-elongating factor aside, there’s no denying that flares are fun and nostalgia-inducing—and that’s exactly what I need right now. So, shop some more fun, funky flares from Frame, NYDJ, and Mavi below.
