Ang Lee will shoot 3D boxing
Two-time Oscar Winner Ang Lee will tell the audience about one of the greatest boxing matches of the 20th century, which went down in sports history under the name Thriller in Manila ".According to Deadline , Lee planned to make a film about the confrontation between heavyweight boxers Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier immediately after the completion of Life of Pi. Universal was hesitant to give the sports tape the green light, so Ang was forced to turn his attention to the war movie Billy Lynn's Long Walk at Half-Time in Football to create which he applied a revolutionary format - 3D with a frequency of 120 frames per second. After " The Long Walk " went into post-production, Lee decided to return to the idea of using new technology to create a boxing drama.  The innovative director's project from the bosses of Universal was bought out by the film company Studio 8 , thanks to which Ang was able to start looking for filming locations and casting. According to insiders, David Oyelovo ("Selma") is claiming the role of Fraser , and Ali may be entrusted with Ray Fisher b>("Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice").   The famous boxing match took place on October 1, 1975 in the capital of the Philippines. In 1971, in a fight with Fraser Ali he suffered the first defeat in his professional career, but three years later he managed to take revenge. The boxers' promoters decided to arrange a decisive fight, the winner of which received the title of the undisputed world heavyweight champion. The fight turned out to be so fierce that the journalists gave it another name - " Manila meat grinder ".  The script for the film was written by Peter Morgan (Frost vs. Nixon, The Race) and produced by James Seamus. The Topic of Article: Ang Lee will shoot 3D boxing. |
