Jamie Foxx is taking over Hollywood, faster than you can say Callator…Colattar…Colet… Tom Cruise, and alongside his fifteen other movies in production right now there’s talk of him bringing the story of Mike Tyson to the big screen. In USA Today through JoBlo:
…Jamie Foxx let slip he’s interested in starring in another biopic: about disgraced, ear-chomping boxing champ Mike Tyson. He’s already having his team look into acquiring the rights to Tyson’s story.
Mmmm…Personally I couldn’t give a rat’s arse about a story of a thug and self disgraced character as Tyson unless it’s a factual portrayal as a warning to all who can’t conduct themselves with any form of dignity or humanity in the company of other human beings. However, I am willing to concede that there are others out there who would be interested in such a tale, not me though, bring on the story of Lennox Lewis that’s what I say.
Okay, seriously for a moment, is there an appetite out there for such a tale? Is there a desire to revisit the sad and clearly pathetic story of Tyson’s downward spiral?
