With Martin Scorsese, the director of legendary boxing film Raging Bull orchestrating things, Foxx’s Tyson flick would have a chance to catapult into out-and-out classic territory.
Telling Tyson’s story would be tricky indeed, but if anyone can pull it off, it’s the team of Foxx, Scorsese and Winter.
Hopes for a Tyson biopic are clearly very much alive and we can look forward to hearing more updates in the future.
Tyson’s story undoubtedly has enough twists-and-turns to make for gripping cinema, especially with The Wolf of Wall Street writer Terence Winter handling the script.
