GIF isn't showing up for me for me moe :(

he did a hell of a job with raging bull, so he would do a great tyson biopic. Now the question is who would play tyson?

Jamie is

not sure how I feel about that :coleman:

meh

should have gotten a newcomer who actually looks something like tyson.

scorcese helped propel de niro and dicaprio to stardom, yet foxx has basically played every black lead that kevin hart is too short to play

Michael Jai White did a decent job as Tyson a few years back. Good flick too. He old doe...

Jamie Foxx is way too old to play Tyson--he's only a year younger than Iron Mike.

I can see Jamie bulking up and getting the mannerisms down. I can't think of a better choice.

Scorsese is probably the only person that could make Tyson's character interesting because the reality of it is he is a complete moron.

His story does have some interesting parts, I do believe Mike was FALSELY accused of rape, however his story ends in an extremely "meh" way. Bites an ear, loses to Lewis, goes through divorces.

Maybe Scorsese can focus the end on Mike getting sober and being a somewhat responsible human/father.

They'll have to end it like The Wrestler.
