Will Smith is set to star as Richard Williams, father of Tennis greats Venus and Serena Williams, in the biopicKing Richard.
The film is about the life of Richard Williams, who overcame tremendous hardship and tons of obstacles to raise two of the greatest tennis players the game has ever seen. Richard Williams came up with a 78-page plan for the professional tennis careers ofVenus WilliamsandSerena Williamswhen they were just four-years-old.
Williams had no previous tennis training, yet he gave them tennis lessons on less-than-ideal courts in Compton. The sisters went on to become two of the greatest tennis players... ever.
Sounds like an interesting movie. Especially, if you like stories based on real life events.
