Mike Tyson and his wife Lakiha Spicer are set to produce a feature film on the boxer's early years.

Spicer said that she could see Kevin Spacey as Tyson's mentor and surrogate dad Cus D'Amato, and Helen Mirren as his adoptive mother, Camille Ewald, the New York Post reported.

She added that an unknown actor, rather than a star, would play the young Tyson.

The couple said that they are eyeing Larry Sloman to pen a screenplay.
