Jamie Foxx to Play Mike Tyson in Biopic Written by BOARDWALK EMPIRE Creator

Jamie Foxx ("The Amazing Spider-Man 2") is attached to star as Mike Tyson in a currently untitled movie about the boxer which will be written by "The Wolf of Wall Street" writer and "Boardwalk Empire" creator Terence Winter. Variety reports that it is unknown at this time what the movie's focus will be, but they acknowledge that Winter "has plenty of material to cover over the past 30 years" of the boxer's life. The biopic is still in its inception phase, so no other details are available as the producers are looking for a studio to distribute. Jamie Foxx can also be seen this Christmas in the musical remake "Annie".
