Screenplay writer Peter Morgan (Rush) has been tasked to write the script for Ang Lee’s film about the historic boxing matches between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier in the 1960’s and 70’s.
In a
recent interview to the Daily Mail, Morgan talked about the yet untitled
project.
“It’s
a look at how brutal the confrontations were between Ali and Frazier. They were
marked by how aggressive Ali was towards Frazier out of the ring. He taunted
and belittled him… [Lee] wants to work with 3D technology that will make an
audience feel as if they’re inside the ring.
Lee wants to use actual footage of the fights and incorporate whoever is
cast to play the boxers into it.”
