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

[Methodical]

I'll put my money that Jamie will do a lot better with Tyson than what Will Smith did with Ali.

When his trainer/legal guardian (Cus D'Amato) died had me that where Tyson lost his mind....I remember he's running into the woods and he was hitting trees and had me

I forgot to post that tooThat tree got that work too:rockmanhuh:

Let's be fair though: Smith was NOT given any script to work with for Ali..whoever wrote that film missed a great opportunity to tell Ali's story with real weight and coherence.

You know what f*cked up is that Spike Lee wanted to direct Ali but Will Smith didn't want Spike Lee to direct it...... at Will

:drakecomeon:Jamie used to do Ray Charles as a comedy act too but we see how that turned out...

Give Jamie a chance because dude has really grown as an actor

yeah he's good, but it's gonna be comedy b/c anyone over the age of 28 remembers Jamie In Living Color character that closely parodied Tyson.

i broke my back

SPINAL!

Will is a whitewashed Hollywood weirdo breh...plus he has stake in the profits: he figured that Spike wouldn't generate enough box office, thus cutting into Will's profits...Will is all about the money man, so he and his God Xanu can sit on the volcano counting money together

No its not and he didn't do Tyson that often like Wanda or something. it was a sporadic impression that didn't last very long during skits on In Living Color. It ain't that serious. It will be full drama

bruh, he did it and I remember it and the many times he's imitated Tyson since then.

I know it's gonna be drama, but it's gonna exist in the back of my mind.

Will got nominated for the Oscar though.

i actually think that this movie will be good. jaime did a excellent job playin' ray and that surprised me because i'm sure like many others, all i could see was jaime playin' ray charles in the comedy aspect and not in a serious role. he channelled ray, i think he can channel mike tyson

this could be jaime's best role since ray
