George Foreman

George Tillman Jr. recalls going to see his first movie while at church summer school. “Ever since then, I caught the bug,” he told me. “I started off writing, but always considered myself a director.”This started with Soul Food in 1997.Thanks to this credibility, he was then able to make movies like Men of Honor, Notorious, Faster, and The Hate U Give. Now he’s back with another biopic, Big George Foreman. The simple description of the latest film is “the life and boxing career of George Foreman,” but it’s actually an underdog story that focuses on the two lives of the boxer, after George’s real-life religious transformation. In this interview, Tillman discusses making Soul Food and Men of Honor, working with Robert De Niro and Cuba Gooding Jr., sticking to your “why” as a filmmaker, the iconic movie brat pack, and how directors can find screenwriters to collaborate with.
