With the November 19 theatrical release of ‘King Richard’ nearing, expect to see much of its star Will Smith as well as tennis legends Serena Williams and Venus Williams (on whom the film is also based) blazing the promo trail in its support. The latest bid in that vein came via a stunning spread in ‘Entertainment Weekly.’
Inside the publication’s pages, the Williams sisters dish on the process of making the movie, the journey to keep the tale authentic while protecting some aspects of their privacy, and praising Smith for his vision as well as portrayal of their father, Richard Williams.
“When we heard that Will wanted to do it, it was like, ‘Oh my God this movie is going to be the real deal.’ Whatever film he’s in, it’s the real deal. We got the sense of this is gonna be big, this is gonna be a serious film,” Venus shared.
Look inside to see what else they said and catch some snaps from the feature’s accompanying photo shoot.
