After great anticipation, King Richard, the film about tennis legends Venus and Serena Williams’ father is finally out today. To celebrate its release, Demi Singleton, Sanniya Sidney, Will Smith and Jon Bernthal were in London for the promotions of the film.
The cast have been on a whirlwind of promotional stints and pulling out all the stops to get Richard Williams’ story told. This week, the cast attended Wimbledon for a photocall where they all dressed glamorously. They also surprised the Wimbledon Junior Tennis Initiative players during a rehearsal session. Following this, the cast attended the UK premiere which was held at Curzon Mayfair Cinema. Smith even said “I’m exploring my life and my experiences honestly.”
The film even had a Gala Screening at this year’s London Film Festival, which received a standing ovation and a global press conference held virtually in which the whole cast and crew shared their experiences working on the film and what this film actually meant to them.
King Richard is a biopic about Richard Williams (Will Smith); with an unstoppable vision and a bold, 78-page plan, he’s determined to write his two daughters, Venus (Demi Singleton) and Serena (Sanniya Sidney), into history. Training on tennis courts in Compton, Richard forms the girls’ solid commitment and insight. Together, the Williams family defy the odds and the expectations laid before them.
King Richard is out in UK cinemas from today, 19th November 2021.
