Whatta U want from the SRR biopic?

Get Paul Schrader to write it and Martin Scorsese to direct it.

 

It was a smart ass answer.

I know as much about Ray Robinson as I do Lady Gaga's new album. I look forward to it's release, though, I just hope for the sake of you old timers that they have some real talent attached to the project.

 

I wanna see a gritty warts n all storyline that show not only his achievements in the ring, but his life outside the ring. The good and the bad but most importantly the truth, not a hollywood schmaltz-fest

 

I'd want the focus to be none boxing, interesting tales of his life with real character depth, no lazy black and white portrayal. Understanding his life and social circumstance would be pretty interesting. Robinson had a great life out of the ring aswell as in it. The boxing parts should be realistic with boxers and they shouldn't make anything up.

In the Mickey Ward they had him in with someone who looked to be a HW and then saying 'this guy has 40lbs on Mickey', umm Mickey you never actually fought anyone weighing over 140lbs

I hate boxing in movies and I don't think Raging Bull is much better than Rocky as a movie, and no I don't rate Rocky

 

It takes plenty of research/knowledge to get the meat and flesh into a movie doesn't it. I think you need to be a big time boxing nerd like ourselves to do that level of research needed. Ofcourse a great biographer could pull it off. With hollywood, they usually more than happy to cash in a massive boxing name and turn it into Rocky 7

Incidently I thought the biopic of Ray Charles (the real Ray Robinson) was an amazing job. Jamie Foxx would probably do a great job

 

You really need to write a Charles Burley screenplay McGrain no one else is going to do it

 

Rocky and Raging Bull are wonderful films.

 

You forgot all the man love scenes. In all seriousness, which biopics aren't biased?
