Michael B. Jordan and Amazon Studios Head
Jennifer Salkeannounced that they will be teaming up with Amazon Prime for a limited series based on the life of
Muhammad Ali. Tentatively titled "The Greatest," the project finds Jordan's Outlier Society executive producing with
Jay-Z's Roc Nation in cooperation with the Hall of Fame boxer and social activist's estate. "It's an incredible honor and I bring tons of respect to it. It's a healthy weight to carry, to be able to tell the story of Muhammad Ali," Jordan revealed. "It's called 'The Greatest' right now and we're partnered with Roc Nation on the music side of things. It's a project where we've partnered with the estate and we'll be able to tell this story with no red tape. It's a limited series that will really dive into the life of Muhammad Ali. I'm not going to be too specific beyond that, but we'll be able to get to know him in ways we haven't had a chance to before. I'm really excited about it, as a boxing enthusiast, and since this is the world I've been living in the past five or six years with the 'Creed' franchise. To be able to honor Muhammad Ali and elaborate on his legacy is something I'm really excited about, and I know Jen and Amazon are as well."
