It’s official, Amazon MGM Studios has officially granted a series order to the upcoming Muhammad Ali biopic called The Greatest. It’s set to be executive produced by Ali’s widow Lonnie Ali.
“The amazing victories and defeats that made Ali a legend, both in and out of the ring, have been well documented, and while those landmark events will live in The Greatest,” reads the initial logline. “The heartbeat of the story is fueled by all the moments that took place outside of the spotlight. The world remembers an icon, but ‘The Greatest’ is about a man, a husband, a father, a brother and a son.”
The series is produced by Amazon MGM Studios, Outlier Society, Watkins’ Blue Monday Productions, Jay-Z’s Roc Nation, Universal Music Group’s Polygram Entertainment.
