‘BIG GEORGE FOREMAN: THE MIRACULOUS STORY OF THE ONCE AND FUTURE HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD’ COMING TO THEATRES APRIL 28TH
From the creators of WAR ROOM and SOUL SURFER, BIG GEORGE FOREMAN: THE MIRACULOUS STORY OF THE ONCE AND FUTURE HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD is based on the remarkable true story about one of the greatest comebacks of all time and the transformational power of second chances. Affirm Films invites Canadians to get into the ring with BIG GEORGE FOREMAN: THE MIRACULOUS STORY OF THE ONCE AND FUTURE HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD, in theatres on April 28, 2023.
Fueled by an impoverished childhood, Foreman channelled his anger into becoming an Olympic Gold medalist and World Heavyweight Champion, followed by a near-death experience that took him from the boxing ring to the pulpit. But when he sees his community struggling spiritually and financially, Foreman returns to the ring and makes history by reclaiming his title, becoming the oldest and most improbable World Heavyweight Boxing Champion ever.
Directed by acclaimed filmmaker George Tillman Jr. from a story by Dan Gordon and Frank Baldwin & George Tillman Jr, and a screenplay by Baldwin & Tillman, the film stars Khris Davis (Judas and the Black Messiah) as Foreman and also stars Academy Award® winner Forest Whitaker as Foreman’s trainer and mentor, Doc Broadus.
“Audiences who enjoy faith films will find the George Foreman life story compelling,” said Rich Peluso, EVP and Head of AFFIRM Films. “It’s the story of someone who rises up over incredible human conditions. It is incredible and impossible but also true.”
