Jamie Foxx to play Mike Tyson in biopic, script by Terence Winter *UPDATE* Scorsese to direct?!

[Big Dick]

Im not convinced Scorsesse is directing this, seems like hes probably executive producing or something. Either way, film should be good, if he is directing though...film will be next level piff.

I'm not convinced he's doing anything until he says it, its in pre production and someone yells action on set and even then i won't be really convinced until i see a trailer and a release date

Foxx is way to old this. The most interesting part of mikes life was his come up in grimy NY and streets and his early adulthood as one of the most famous athletes in history.

 

[Slystallion]

Can't they just get Tyson to be himself...Lmao he's not dead

Nah. Not with all the makeup and CGI shyt they can do. He just needs to get in decent enough shape and he good.

Get the fukk outta here....I liked Django and all that but you're acting like that some role of a lifetime or somethin, how is he a house nikka for NOT taking that role?

it is

shyt is top 5 tarintino movie

Better than anything will ever did (off the top of my head)

 

[Premeditated]

nope, i still dont see it, terrible casting, but great actor.


Mekki Phifer 10 yrs ago circa Dawn of the Dead remake woulda been a perfect James brown tho

Now that I think of it. Lil Eazy E would have too

I don't usually do this, but man, your opinion is pretty shyt on this topic.

Lil Easy E?
Mehki Phieffer?

 

[Street Knowledge]

My mans said lil eazy E

Michael Rapaport asked Jamie Foxx "How's that gonna work?" and he said Jamie started doing Mike Tyson in front of him, Snoop, and about 6 other people in the room. He said that Jamie "became Mike Tyson" and not the goofy Tyson that Jamie used to do impressions of, but the "a more fragile and gentle Mike Tyson." He said everyone in the room was mesmerized and that he thought Jamie would be nominated for an Oscar for it, if not win the Oscar. That got me more excited about this movie than anything else I've seen or read.

Once an actor gets nom for a biopic he should be banned from doing more.
Also fukk biopics when the person is still alive
Unless it's a Shaq biopic

 

[NormanConnors]

the Mike Tyson movie and the Don King movie with Ving Rhymes won't be topped

Agreed Michael Jai White killed that roll

 

[NormanConnors]

yea saw it when I was a kid. Michael Jai White played Tyson and although he wasn't that great as Tyson, the script and supporting cast did a great damn job. it really looks at Tyson's background and his temper problems that led to other things

He nailed Tyson's character imo, from appearance down to the speach impediment

 

[Dre Space Age]

Breh they got this nikka punching everyone in the face throughout the movie, he punched his trainer, his wife, this random dude at the club, everyone got that one piece special :deadcena2:

Classic Instagram Fukkery Memes in the Making!!!!!

It was Keenan who did Tyson if I remember correctly breh

Last time Jamie played a boxer

Hopefully he reancts all of Mikes famous rants.

"I'll fukk you till u love me"

"I wanna eat his children "

The fukkery that will happen on screen will be legendary

Foxx, Winter, Scorsese... it's not fair

All that for Mike Tyson. This gonna be an epic biopic.

"I'm gonna fukk you in the ass until you love me" acted by Foxx directed by Scorcese

He's got that voice and inflection down
