Directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green, King Richard is the second-best screenplay on Hollywood's 2018 "Script Blacklist," and Smith will also be the film's producer. The true story of Richard Williams, the shrewd, indomitable father who had no tennis background developed two tennis geniuses who went on to become superstars – Venus Williams (Dawei) and Serena Williams (Serena Williams).

In the trailer of the film, Richard Williams also famously said, "There will be a Michael Jordan in your house." "No, I have two at home."

The entire trailer is full of elements of a family film, and Will Smith also put away his funny talent and seriously starred in this character. Judging from the performance of the trailer, the whole film is not too sensational, nor does it play with inspirational elements. It is only relatively very peaceful to tell the growth process of Big and Small. The film will focus on Richard overcoming difficulties, doubts, controversies and his troubled past to mentor his two daughters to train on tennis courts in Compton, California, at the age of 4, even though he himself does not have any tennis-related background.

In addition, "Sabertooth Tiger" Levi Schreiber also joined the filming of the film, he will play the tennis coach Paul Cohen in the film.

As David's father, Richard Williams exposed his sisters to tennis at a very young age. Richard drafted a 78-page plan for his daughters' professional tennis careers, and the girls learned the sport on Compton's dilapidated, overgrown public courts.

It is reported that the film will be released in North America on November 19 this year, and HBO Max will be launched simultaneously. (End)
