The producer of the movie spoke on this topic and stated, “It was absolutely crucial we had their support. No one involved was excited about the idea of moving forward on this without their involvement. We also knew the script was going to get a lot better and fill in a lot of the blanks. Having each of their consulting really elevated it. All the nuances made it special.”
Serena Williams was very cooperative during the entire process?
