Cannes Interview: 'Tyson' Director James Toback
Filed under: Documentary, Cannes, Festival Reports, Podcasts, Interviews
James Toback's known for cult classics (Fingers, Black and White) and puzzling experiments (When Will I Be Loved); this year, he's at Cannes with his new documentary Tyson, focusing on the life and times of a curiously muted and repentant Mike Tyson -- which received a standing ovation when it opened the Un Certain Regard selection. James Toback spoke with Cinematical at Cannes about the genesis of the project, the challenges of dealing with Tyson as a subject instead of as a friend, and about the ongoing negotiations with his 8-year old son over a possible part in his next film.

Looks like a compelling movie. Cannes is the ultimate. There is an opportunity for entertainment blogs to write about Cannes and get paid. Spreading the word about Cannes is fun and great for everyone! http://snapbomb.com
