In a groundbreaking move, legendary boxer Mike Tyson is set to portray himself in an unconventional superhero film titled ‘Bunny Man,’ which will be filmed entirely in Italy. The announcement was made during a press conference in the Northern city of Turin, where Tyson, alongside Italian producer Andrea Iervolino and writer Enrico Remmert, revealed details about the upcoming project.
‘Bunny-Man’ follows the story of a wealthy superhero who fights against evil forces while maintaining anonymity behind a rabbit mask. The character is motivated by a desire for justice following the tragic suicide of his sister, whose violent incident went viral online.
Italian producer Andrea Iervolino, known for his work on films like Michael Mann’s ‘Ferrari’ and Johnny Depp-starrer ‘Waiting for the Barbarians,’ will helm the project through his production company TaTaTu. Iervolino expressed enthusiasm about the innovative venture, highlighting that 95% of the film will be shot on a virtual set.
“We are excited to embark on this innovative project,” Iervolino stated, emphasizing the film’s goal of redefining the boundaries of cinematographic creativity to offer the audience a unique experience. He also expressed pride in having the legendary Mike Tyson in the cast, though specific details about Tyson’s role were not disclosed.
Notably, Mike Tyson has previously made appearances as himself in films like ‘The Hangover’ and ‘The Hangover Part 2.’ The involvement of such an iconic figure adds an extra layer of excitement to the project.
While the director and the remaining cast details remain undisclosed, ‘Bunny Man’ is generating significant buzz for its unconventional approach and Tyson’s involvement. The film is poised to push the boundaries of cinematic creativity and deliver a distinctive viewing experience for audiences.
