Hollywood so obsessed with whites, they'd rather want to tell a story about mike tysons white trainer

and nick cassavetes hasn't made a good movie since like 2004

Tf happened to the Jamie Foxx movie?

I mean they got another Mike Tyson movie already in the works with Jamie Foxx

And they’ve already done plenty of Mike Tyson films and documentaries so I don’t see how your comment holds true.......I get niggas wanna throw out race cards 24/7 but u tripping if u think Hollywood would rather do a biopic on Cus rather than Tyson just because. This is just going a different route than the typical Tyson films we’ve seen

My point is that mike Tyson film been in development hell for years despite Jamie foxx and Scorsese involved but they’re already going ahead with this movie and hiring a director that hasn’t made a good movie in nearly 2 decades

The white privilege is real

Bro if you think a no name directors biopic on Tysons trainer is coming before a legends biopic directed by Scorsese all due to “white privilege” you’re tripping.

You’re purposely ignoring the fact that Jamie has a busy schedule. You’re purposely ignoring that Scorsese has a busy schedule. Hell you ignoring that Scorsese is white just so you can sell a narrative that “oh the white trainer is getting a movie cus of white privilege”

This why niggas can’t prevail in life yall stay wanting to feel oppressed over false narratives. Yes Hollywood is a predominantly white mans game, yes you do have oppressive situations, but we not just gonna throw the race card on every little thing.

And also, who tf said this is even coming before the Jamie Foxx joint? This doesn’t even have a release date or much info since mid last year. I only made a thread because I randomly see it on a website and said “oh that’s cool I love Tyson they making two films about him”

I’m saying white privilege because a white director like Cassavetes who been trash for 2 decades still gets work and it’s to make a movie about tysons trainer

The mike Tyson movie hasn’t even confirmed gotten started and Jamie been training for a year now. He’s busy getting ready for the movie and there’s no guarantee it’ll even start filming. We don’t even know who’s directing it yet

Bro don’t worry, the Jamie Foxx Tyson film still gonna come. It’s more than likely gonna be dope. Two projects can exist. And usually the latter project is better, look at the Steve Jobs flicks

without cus there is no tyson. hes vital to tysons career

its important cus' story gets told as well

Yup and Tyson spiraled when Cus passed away
