Mike Tyson Joins Sean Penn Thriller Black Flies
Legendary former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson has been cast in the upcoming drama-thriller Black Flies. Tyson is joining an impressive cast that already includes two-time Academy Award winner Sean Penn, Ready Player One's Tye Sheridan and Fantastic Beasts' Katherine Waterston. The Jean-Stéphane Sauvaire-directed film is based on a best-selling Shannon Burke novel of the same name and is inspired by the author's experiences as a paramedic in the high-wire world of New York City in the 1990s. Black Flies is being adapted for the screen by rising scriptwriter Ryan King, who's recent films include The Tutor with Garrett Hedlund.
