How ‘King Richard’ Producers Convinced Venus and Serena Williams to Make a Movie About Their Family

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media ReporterWhen Venus and Serena Williams first watched “King Richard,” a sports drama starring Will Smith as their larger-than-life dad, a man who helped catapult the sisters to tennis super-stardom, time seemed to stand still — at least for the film’s producers Tim and Trevor White.The brothers, who co-founded the production company Star Thrower Entertainment, had spent years developing the story, attaching key collaborators in director Reinado Marcus Green and screenwriter Zach Baylin, casting Smith, and most crucially, getting the Williams family on board with their vision to capture the heart of a father who beat the odds to turn his daughters into tennis legends.“It was definitely a very long two-and-a-half

Warning: The following post contains spoilers for “King Richard.” “King Richard” is a touching and inspiring movie about family, belief and overcoming obstacles in order to follow a dream. But it’s also a compelling sports movie and naturally ends with a face-off in which the audience is left guessing — will the underdog Venus Williams beat the champion? “King Richard” ends on a real-life match from 1994 between Venus Williams, then just 14 and competing in her first pro tournament and second pro match, and Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario, a Spanish player who at the time was the No.

‘King Richard’ review: Will Smith finally makes a good movie again

Richard Williams, the controversial father of tennis stars Venus and Serena Williams.Director Reinaldo Marcus Green’s grand slam of a movie is an odd duck because, generally speaking, biographies tend to be made about huge names — Judy Garland, Jackie O., Tonya Harding — and their moms, dads, bosses and old flames are merely colorful side characters who come and go. Not this one. “King Richard” is about how the Williams sisters got their start, absolutely, but it’s their tenacious, quick-tempered, eccentric dad who is at the center. Richard is a helluva complex part, alternately lovable and aggravating, hilarious and scary, that’s so well-suited to Smith.
