I actually look forward to this I love both mike and jamie
Anybody know Friday's full name????i broke my back
LOL, great point. It was more about the Tyson early years. Michael Jai didn't do that bad and Paul Winfield did good as Don King but Vin Rhames did better in that "Don King" movie. But this needs to be a FULL BIO-PIC. Tyson as kid, then all his glory, then his downfall with the rap charge and prison term. Then his comeback by being on TV. I could see Jamie doing the voice too. He's going to have to work out to get Tyson physique back then.
I dont care how good the script is.....its gonna come off as a comedy with Jamie playing Tyson. Lol
Like I said earlier, watch the Tookie Williams movie Jamie did a few years ago and you will see how big that dude can get...dude looked like the Rock in the movie

Jamie Foxx has made his desire to play Mike Tyson well-known for years. Despite his wishes taking so long to finally come true, it appears the movie will get just about the best treatment Hollywood has to offer. Foxx told Power 106's The Breakfast Club Martin Scorsese is onboard to direct the film reportedly written by Terence Winter.
Scorsese and Winter previously teamed up for another biopic about a wildly successful but often unsavory man who lost nearly everything. It was called The Wolf of Wall Street. The two also work together on Boardwalk Empire and are making an untitled rock n' roll projectfor HBO.
Scorsese's involvement hasn't been officially confirmed, but this sounds like it'll be a damn good film handled by filmmakers with a firm grasp on nuance. The legendary director also helmed one of the best boxing films of all time, Raging Bull. Here's to hoping he gets in the ring once again.
