George Foreman movie

[JAB5239]

Just saw the trailer for the new George Foreman movie coming in April. Looks decent, hopefully it will be one of the better boxing movies.

I hate trailers like that -- now I don't need to watch the film they just showed me every plot line they had and I can figure out the climax to each.

I realize it's a biography so it has to be predictable at some level but how they approach each event can still be original. But I now know how they are going to approach each crisis.

Too much info. Looks like I won't be seeing this in a theater, more like a Netflix watch.

A critic once pointed out that what made Raging Bull unique/special was that it is the only boxing film that isn't a 'big fight' climax.

I think it is pretty obvious this is going to be a 'big fight' climax film and the climax is Moorer.

I already know I ain't popping $30 to see this in the theater.

P.S. Thanks for posting. Seriously, thanks.

Looks pretty good. When he goes bald, he actually looks more like Ernie Shavers.

Looks good.

If they show it at the Cinema in the UK I’ll go and watch.

Looking forward to this one.

Well look at that. I made a post about this idea a year and a half ago not even knowing that this was already in the works.

- - Watching mutts blow their $$$ on useless Hollywood boxing films would be priceless comedy save they support a marginal profit industry catering to knaves thinking the film is actual history.

I'll watch George fight all day any day.

Last Hollywood film I saw was that Peter Jackson Hobbit movie that reminded me of the part of the book I skipped over, something like 50 Battle pages of every critter imaginable getting run through, lopped off, squashed with a rainbow of bloody colors. That was 30 minutes of utter agony, the reason i like books better.

I wasn't going to create another thread because this one is fictional, but Creed III is coming out in March.

This film will tank at the box office. They're gonna need ******ing revenue to make back their nut.

Just don't see where the gripping drama lies; Ali's life was nothing but drama and the film Ali was a box office dog.

Ali made 60 million domestically and 30 million foreign, at a production/promotion cost of 118 million.

Foreman won't come close to being an overseas sensation and a 100 million domestically isn't going to happen in the theaters. They going to need Netflix or Amazon, or something, to make this work.

I just don't see this film making money.
