“King Richard,” which stars two-time Oscar^® nominee Will Smith (“Ali,” “The Pursuit of Happyness,” “Bad Boys for Life”) under the direction of Reinaldo Marcus Green (“Monsters and Men”), tells the story of tennis-legend sisters Venus and Serena Williams and their determined father, Richard. Armed with a clear vision and a brazen 78-page plan, Richard Williams is determined to write his daughters, Venus and Serena, into history. Training on Compton, Calif.’s abandoned tennis courts — rain or shine — the girls are shaped by their father’s unyielding commitment and their mother’s balanced perspective and keen intuition, defying the seemingly insurmountable odds and prevailing expectations laid before them. Based on the true story that will inspire the world, “King Richard” follows the uplifting journey of a family whose unwavering resolve and unconditional belief ultimately deliver two of the world’s greatest sports legends. Aunjanue Ellis (“If Beale Street Could Talk”) plays the girls’ mom, Oracene “Brandy” Williams, Saniyya Sidney (“Hidden Figures,” “Fences”) stars as Venus Williams, and Demi Singleton (TV’s “Godfather of Harlem”) stars as Serena Williams. The cast also includes Tony Goldwyn, Jon Bernthal, Andy Bean, Kevin Dunn, and Craig Tate. Green directed “King Richard” from a screenplay written by Zach Baylin, and the behind-the-scenes creative team includes Oscar^®-winning director of photography Robert Elswit (“There Will Be Blood”).
