I'm just really excited to see him work with Scorsese.

Martin Scorsese. Nothing more to add.

His only "weak" film so far has been Hugo, and even that was ok.

I can't wait

I really wish people would stop making Mike Tyson culturally relevant.

klauswhereareyou · 03-16-2015, 12:31 PM

De Niro to gain 200 lbs to play King Hippo. Leo for Glass Joe!

Arch Stanton · 03-16-2015, 12:47 PM

Good news, although I desperately want The Irishman made.

Tyson will always be relevant like it or not.

Count the KO's

JeffTheMovieGuy · 03-16-2015, 01:16 PM

I'm all for it.

Two of my favorite things Scorsese and biopics.

I also think Mike Tyson is pretty interesting to do a biopic on.

I think Jamie Foxx is a very average actor who does great impersonations. But under Scorseses' direction maybe we'll see something really great. Having said that I have no interest in a Tyson Bio at this point in time. Maybe in another 15-20 years.

Cant say Im bothered about this film either despite it being Scorsese. If I want to watch a Scorsese boxing film Ill watch Raging Bull.

This would be Scorsese's first feature film with a African-American protagonist. Bad starred Michael Jackson, but that was a music video.

No. Scorsese is prepping Killers of the Flower Moon.

I've heard about this for 6/7 years.
Doubt it will ever happen.

Frank TJ Mackey · 06-20-2020, 03:20 AM

Foxx does a killer Mike Tyson impersonation but it makes Tyson sound like a ****ing idiot. Lol

sxerunner · 06-20-2020, 03:49 AM

It’s finally moving forward? Awesome. Tyson has lived an eventful life, and the approach that they are taking (based on the pitch Foxx described a ways back) sounds great.

Hoke Moseley · 06-20-2020, 03:51 PM

Spike Lee should direct it.

stormdrain · 06-20-2020, 07:54 PM

Boyyyyyy if this doesn't get you hyped
