I hope this is good I just love the story about Billie jean king and bobby Riggs. Can't wait for this one. Last time they did a cheap TV movie with holly hunter as Billie jean, and Ron silver as bobby Riggs my fingers are cross.

curious as to what angle they'll play this,Billie Jean winning and striking a blow for feminist or Riggs taking a dive.

The angle that isn't a myth...

Steve Carrell is the right physical type for Riggs and about the right age. Emma Stone is the wrong physical type for King. I think she's a terrific actress, but I just can't see her handling this role and I hope they recast it.

Emma had to drop out and has been replaced by Brie Larson.

Nope. Shes back on. And I agree with LaurieMann, Emma aint got the right look for the part.
