VIDEO : Jamie Foxx Says Martin Scorsese Still On For Mike Tyson Biopic

In a recent interview with Screen Rant to promote the new thriller "Sleepless," actor Jamie Foxx revealed that plans for a Mike Tyson biographical film are still alive, with legendary director Martin Scorsese still attached. A team up between Foxx - who played Ray Charles in the Oscar-award-winning "Ray" and Scorsese, who directed the boxing classic "Raging Bull" - should be a surefire hit, telling the life story of the iconic and troubled boxer. Raised on the streets of Brooklyn, Tyson became the protege of legendary boxing trainer Cus D?Amato and rose to become heavyweight champion of the world before life in the limelight proved too much, and he was found guilty of rape and sent to prison, only to return to the public eye after his release and reinvent himself.
