Will Smith will play Serena and Venus Williams' father
Will Smith will play in another biopic. According to Deadline, this is a movie adaptation of the story of Richard Williams, the father of two famous tennis players Serena and Venus Williams. The script for the project tentatively titled "King Richard" will be prepared by Zach Beilin. According to the Williams family legend, Richard was literally obsessed with the idea of making great tennis players out of his daughters, so he personally coached them when they were four years old ... Then the family lived in the slums of Los Angeles, and Richard Williams had to come into conflict with local drug dealers, who chose the court where he worked with his daughters. His efforts were not in vain: Serena and Venus became the most titled athletes in history of tennis. The first one has won 23 Grand Slam singles tournaments and four times became the Olympic champion, the second has seven such victories. Terms of work on the project have not yet been specified. Recall that Smith has previously appeared in biographical movies related to sports. For his role in Ali, he received an Academy Award nomination.
