Jamie Foxx has, whenever he's sat in front of a mic lately, talked about nothing but his upcoming Mike Tyson biopic.
The veteran actor is set to play the boxing legend in a film directed by Martin Scorsese and written by The Sopranos / Boardwalk Empire scirbe Terence Winter.
According to Fox, CGI will be used to enhance Foxx and give him the look needed for a much younger Tyson.
As Foxx describes it, the film looks pretty damn interesting. Plus, it's always something to see an actor genuinely excited about the prospect of a role, so here's hoping that enthusiasm pays off.
While we were somewhat sceptical about Foxx playing Tyson, his interest and his ability to mimic Tyson's unique speech pattern is a plus.
Take a look.
