ABOUT THE FILMS KING RICHARD, 2021, Warner Bros., 154 min, USA, Dir: Reinaldo Marcus Green. Starring two-time Oscar nominee Will Smith, KING RICHARD is based on the true story of the uplifting journey of a family whose unwavering resolve and unconditional belief ultimately delivers two of the world’s greatest sports legends. Directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green from a screenplay written by Zach Baylin, the film follows Richard Williams, who, armed with a clear vision and a brazen 78-page plan, is determined to write his daughters, Venus and Serena, into history. Training on Compton, California’s neglected tennis courts – rain or shine – the girls are shaped by their father’s unyielding commitment and their mother’s balanced perspective and keen intuition, defying the seemingly insurmountable odds and prevailing expectations laid before them. Co-starring Aunjanue Ellis, Saniyya Sidney, Demi Singleton, and Jon Bernthal. FORMAT: DCP ROCKY, 1976, Park Circus/MGM, 119 min, USA, Dir: John Avildsen.
