Jamie Foxx, has been trying to make his Iron Mike Tyson movie for more than a decade now.
Foxx, who won an Oscar for playing singer Ray Charles in the classic 2004 biopic Ray, first tried to get his Tyson movie made back in 2009, but was plagued by delays.
He and Tyson later met with Paramount in 2015 to kickstart the project, but were again rebuffed.
Foxx hinted on social media that he and Tyson were "one step closer" to getting the movie made, which gave new hope to fans intrigued by the long-awaited project.
