Jamie Foxx Will Play Mike Tyson in New Biopic
Mike Tyson is one of the most controversial and bizarre figures to emerge out of the sports world in the past few decades, so it's not surprising that a biopic about his life is finally being made. What is slightly surprising is the amount of talent backing the project. Oscar-winner Jamie Foxx signed on to play the former boxing heavyweight champion and Terrence Winter, fresh off an Oscar nomination for writing 'The Wolf of Wall Street,' is set to pen the script.
Weekend Box Office Report: ‘Lucy’ Takes Down Mighty ‘Hercules’
This weekend saw two movies named after their lead characters go head-to-head. In one corner, you have 'Lucy.' In the other, 'Hercules.'

‘Alien: Isolation DLC’ Reuniting Sigourney Weaver, Original ‘Alien’ Cast

‘Star Wars: Episode 7′ Casts Carrie Fisher’s Daughter as a Young Princess Leia

A new report claims that the new film will not only feature flashbacks to the younger days of Carrie Fisher's Princess Leia Organa, but that the young version of the secret Skywalker sibling will be playe
