Matt LeNevez is most definitely in this, playing the romantic lead opposite Rose Byrne. There was an article in Film Ink last month providing more details, including a pic of LeNevez in his role as a young boxer.
I have a scan of the article here: http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1390/645109079_e808cdd182_o.jpg
The Tender Hook filmed between mid-March and May 2007 and is now in postproduction with an Australian release planned for early 2008. Since I'm not in Australia, I'm hoping the film gets a festival screening this fall, then maybe international distribution. The strikingly original take on film noir and Rose Byrne's heightened profile of late give this film a good shot, but it's too soon to tell. I'm a Hugo Weaving fan and would like to be able to see one of his films that isn't a scifi blockbuster screen near where I live. ;)
