Okay, let's talk about Venus and Serena. Or, rather, when a movie about them will *finally* grace our screens.
The Biopic Buzz
Biopics are all the rage, right? Everyone from Freddie Mercury to Elton John got their turn. So, naturally, tennis royalty like Venus and Serena Williams are on our minds.
But where's our dramatic, inspirational, tear-jerking movie about *them*? I'm waiting with my popcorn ready!
"King Richard" Was Just the Appetizer
We got King Richard, which was fantastic. Will Smith deserved every bit of that Oscar, even if...
It focused mostly on their dad, Richard. A great story, no doubt. But, um, hello? What about Venus and Serena themselves?
It was like ordering a pizza and only getting the crust. Good crust, but still. Where's the cheese, the toppings, the *sisters*?
My Unpopular Opinion (Brace Yourselves)
Here's where I might get some angry emails. I think... we don't need a straight-up biopic yet.
Wait, hear me out! Their story is still being written. Serena just retired! There's so much more to come.
A movie *now* would feel... incomplete. It'd be like ending a book halfway through. We'd be left hanging!
So, When *Will* We Get It?
Predicting Hollywood release dates is harder than returning a serve from Serena. Seriously, it's an impossible feat.
My guess? Maybe 5-10 years. Let them live a little more. Let them achieve even *more* greatness.
Think about it. Imagine a movie that covers their post-retirement lives, their business ventures, their impact on fashion and culture.
What a Movie *Should* Include
If and when this movie *does* happen, here are my non-negotiable demands. I'm kidding... mostly.
First, we need amazing casting. Someone who can capture the power and grace of Venus and Serena.
Second, the soundtrack has to be fire. Think Beyoncé, Lizzo, maybe a little bit of their own karaoke night tunes (we can dream!).
Third, and most importantly, it has to be authentic. No Hollywood fluff. Give us the real struggles, the real triumphs, the real bond between two incredible sisters.
Let's Be Patient...Maybe
So, while we wait, let's re-watch King Richard. And keep an eye out for any hints from the Williams sisters themselves.
In the meantime, maybe write our own scripts? Just in case Hollywood needs a little help. (I've already got mine ready.)
Because, let's be honest, a Venus and Serena movie is inevitable. It's just a matter of time... and hopefully, not too much time!
Until then, I will be doing all my planning.
