As for the film itself, the Warner Bros. Pictures film is set to arrive on November 19th and will depict the story of Richard Williams, the father of Venus and Serena Williams.
It is based on “the journey of Richard Williams, an undeterred father instrumental in raising two of the most extraordinarily gifted athletes of all time, who will end up changing the sport of tennis forever," says the studios.
The case will star Will Smith as the title character while Saniyya Sidney plays Venus Williams and Demi Singleton portrays Serena Williams. Aunjanue Ellis stars as their mother and tennis coach, Oracene “Brandy” Price.
