Mike Tyson Biopic

Yep, it's on its way...


Iron Mike is to get his own biopic.


Using the same CG facelift technology that was used in TRON Legacy and X-Men 3, Mike Tyson is hopeful that none other than Jamie Foxx will play the role.




Some rumours were in place that Mike would actually play himself using the CG facelift but Tyson and Foxx have been in talks and have apparently come to an agreement.


No other news yet but hopefully complete by 2016-2017.

This has a chance to be great. Mike Tyson's life story is sad and tortured at times, but is an interesting one. I will be most interested by what the tone will be.

I'm looking forward to this too...I heard Foxx talking about it on a talk show, but it was just speculation at the time. Glad to hear it's becoming a reality.

Thnx for this thread! I even didn't know that such movie is going to be seen)
Mike is my favourite boxer for life. Mike, Roy Jones, Hopkins, Lewis - they know what the real boxing is

should be fun if done right but I cant see Foxx as Tyson

It's official. Jamie Foxx is playing Mike Tyson in an upcoming biopic (see images above of Foxx bulked up in preparation for the film).

This looks like it could be good and Fox is a good choice!

Damn. It’s been ages since we first heard of this. And even back then Foxx was also attached.

I’m glad if it’s finally moving forward. Foxx is perfect casting imo.
