Actor Jamie Foxx and director Taylor Hackford might be following up their award-winning collaboration on 2004's "Ray" with another biopic according to an article on the Dark Horizons website. This time, their subject would not be a musician but a rather infamous sports figure: Mike Tyson. Foxx has already received the blessing of the boxer, and he feels that "of all the biopics out there, (Tyson) has the most interesting story that no one has heard."Despite following a story path that echoed your standard musical biography, Hackford's film "Ray" was still an involving and entertaining film that didn't shy away from showing the turbulent side of Ray Charles' private life, and Foxx's performance was certainly worthy of the Best Actor award he won that year. Hopefully, the two can combine their efforts to give us a compelling portrait of Tyson without glossing over the past the way Michael Mann and Will Smith did with their biopic about a boxer, the flawed but decent "Ali".
