Will Smith’s King Richard Movie Nears Deal with Warner Bros. Warner Bros. is reportedly moving closer to sealing its deal with Will Smith for his King Richard movie.
Variety reports that the studio is in final negotiations with Smith, who will play Richard Williams, the father to Venus and Serena Williams.
When his daughters were around the age of four, Richard Williams drew up a 78-page plan for their professional tennis careers.
Williams, who had no tennis background, overcame tremendous hardship, skepticism, and his own troubled past to raise two of the game’s greatest players.
