Mike tyson spike lee6/10/2023 ![]() ![]() What's most disappointing to me is that John Boyega ( Attack the Block) was set to star as Donnie, the central character who is a young boxer fresh out of juvenile detention on his 18th birthday. ![]() Written by John Ridley and directed by Lee, Da Brick was partially inspired by Tyson's formative youth and looked at what it was like to be a young, black man in an America that is supposedly "post-racial." The project began when Tyson was on the set of Entourage for a guest role and he mentioned to series creator, Doug Ellin that he'd like to build a show around his own life, much like they did for Mark Wahlberg's early days. In somewhat disappointing news today, HBO has decided to pass on Da Brick, a drama pilot from Academy Award-nominated director Spike Lee and boxing legend, Mike Tyson. ![]()
