Mike Tyson's Life Story Topic of New Documentary

Director James Toback is set to turn Mike Tyson's life into a documentary.

'Tyson' will be based on over 30 hours of interview footage filmed by Tobak, that include Tyson's thoughts and comments on many subjects.

Toback says he decided to make the film after being fascinated by Tyson and his legacy for many years. He first met Tyson in 1985 when Tyson was only 19.

The director told Daily Variety, "The point (of the film) is not to polish his (Tyson) image or make a cinematic apology, but rather to get a firsthand look at a very complex and epic story."
