Martin Scorsese To Direct Mike Tyson Biopic Movie Played By Jamie Foxx

[h2o_proof]

I can't remember where I posted it, but I said something about Foxx being the greatest pitch man/salesperson for things that probably won't ever happen since the Foxxhole days.

He's a great storyteller, but bad with execution.

Dudes damn near 50 talking about playing one of the greatest boxers whose ever lived.

A good impression doesn't make for a good movie.

Jamie could pull it off, but I don't think I could take him serious, hell I can't even really vibe with his music cuz I can't take it serious. Don't get me wrong, he's a great actor overall and a terrific character actor specifically, probably just me, but I think you need a younger, less known actor partly for credibility purposes, but also because Mike was such a polarizing figure that the viewer needs to fully detach the character from the actor in a way that Jamie wouldn't be able to do for me.

My vote, if he could perfect the speech and bulk up about 20 lbs would be my nikka Rotimi

;mjlol: bruh.....you probably right though

Idk, I know it's been talked about for a while but just recently I've heard people talk about it, someone on a podcast recently mentioned how winters was writing it, it was some actor I can't remember who

 

[IronFist]

even though it was years ago. I like to see where this goes in comparison to the joint w/ Michael Jai White

 

[STAN JONES]

Jamie is too damn old. Should be Boyega.

Is that the nikka from Star Wars?

If so,HELL NO

 

[CM_Burns]

I don't like Scorsese directing this or Jamie as Mike

 

[hayesc0]

I know Jamie is older but I'm surprised people are doubting him. He is as versatile as they come.

I'm not worried about Foxx's age. There are Hollywood tricks to help with that. It's really what Hollywood is known for, actors in their 40s and 50s playing people in their 20s. Plus this might not be a full biopic, showing Mike when he was 18, this could be more of a slice of life, focusing on an older Mike.

So yeah Jamie being 48 doesn't bother me....what I'm interested in is seeing if he would put it the work to get swole. Just 6 months of that intense Dwayne Johnson workout and eating regimen. No partying with publicists, none of his signature orgies at the mansion, no blaming it on the alcohol.

I also wanna know who would play Robin Givens.

I'm not holding my breath on it ever being made though. Foxx was king of hyping up shyt that never came. I remember he let Amber Rose take over his show one time and talked about how she was going to have her own show and that shyt never happened.
