Fans of The G.O.A.T. rejoice: there’s a new film based on Muhammad Ali’s life in the works. A God Amongst Men will see For Life‘s Nicholas Pinnock take on the role of the heavyweight champion alongside the former Doctor Who star, Christopher Eccleston. While it has not been officially specified, Eccleston will most likely play Johnny Walker, the man who brought Ali to a small town boxing club in England.
As reported by Variety, A God Amongst Men will be directed by James Newton (2:Hrs), who has co-written the film alongside Ian Skelton (Hey Duggee). The film is set to tell the story of Johnny Walker, an ex-boxer from South Shields, who decided to bring Muhammad Ali to Tyneside, in the Northeast of England, in 1977, in order to save his decaying boxing club, Shields Park Kids. Despite facing ridicule and disbelief, Walker persevered and made “the impossible possible.”
