Comments
Jada Pinkett Smith is getting in the ring with husband Will Smith.
The couple will play husband-and-wife in a new film biography of boxing great Muhammad Ali, The Hollywood Reporter reported Friday.
Smith plays the title role in "Ali,'' which is being directed by "The Insider'' filmmaker Michael Mann.
Pinkett Smith, 29, will play Sonji Roi, a cocktail waitress and model who was Ali's first wife.
The $105 million film, which started shooting this week, also stars Jon Voight as sports commentator Howard Cosell and Mario Van Peebles as Malcolm X.
"Ali'' is scheduled for release around Christmas.
