TYRONE GA!
This movie will be a classic. Martin Scorsese is supposed to be directing this and it’s his first boxing film since Raging Bull. Jamie does a great Tyson voice, and is a phenomenal actor period. Plus he’s close with Mike and I’m sure is getting the green light to do a lot of shyt others may not have had if they tried to do this.

But do y’all remember that HBO movie called Tyson? :pachaha: A biopic where Michael Jai White was Tyson. Used to watch that shyt all the time back in the 90s. I’m sure this one will be miles better than the HBO biopic, but that one was still entertaining.

that Michael Jai White joint was pretty damn good.

But Jamie gonna murder this.

i have a bad feeling that Jamie hyping and talking about this shyt for years will be better than the movie itself.

really hope i'm wrong.

Not a fan of his. Almost all of his performances are wack but he killed Ray. Maybe we'll get lightning in a bottle with him as Mike. :ehh:

No question Jamie will have Mike down cold. My only issue since I heard about this is that Jamie is damn near the same age as Mike. So much of Mike's story is based in his teens and early 20s. You could have an older MIke looking back, but you still gotta have young Mike. I know there is age reversing tech but how is that really gonna work in serious, dramatic movie?

I hope it turns out like Ray, and not the Michael Jordan biopic.
