With a supportive husband urging her to fight the\u00a0Establishment\u00a0for equal pay, the fiercely private King was also struggling to come to terms with her own sexuality,\u00a0while Riggs gambled his legacy and reputation in a bid to relive the glories of his past.\u00a0Together, Billie Jean and Bobby served up a cultural spectacle that resonated far beyond the tennis courts and animated the discussions between men and women in bedrooms and boardrooms around the world.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15119\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15119\" style=\"width: 376px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-15119\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/BOTS_2016-376x300.jpg\" alt=\"Emma Stone as &quot;Billie Jean King&quot; and  Steve Carell as &quot;Bobby Riggs&quot; in BATTLE OF THE SEXES.  \u00a9 2016 Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation \" width=\"376\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/BOTS_2016-376x300.jpg 376w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/BOTS_2016-768x613.jpg 768w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/BOTS_2016-1024x817.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/BOTS_2016-1400x1117.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/BOTS_2016-300x239.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 376px) 100vw, 376px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15119\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Emma Stone as &#8220;Billie Jean King&#8221; and Steve Carell as &#8220;Bobby Riggs&#8221; in BATTLE OF THE SEXES. \u00a9 2016 Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The film is being produced by Cloud Eight Films\u2019 Christian Colson and Decibel Films\u2019 Danny Boyle, along with Robert Graf, with a screenplay by Academy Award-winning Simon Beaufoy (SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE, 127 HOURS, THE FULL MONTY). Boyle and Colson are the team behind Academy Award-winning and nominated films such as SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE, 127 HOURS and STEVE JOBS<em>. <\/em>Producer Robert Graf previously collaborated with the directors on RUBY SPARKS and worked on such projects such as HAIL, CAESAR! and NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN<em>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf all men and women worked as well together as Jon Dayton and Valerie Faris,\u201d said Boyle and Colson, \u201cthe world would be a more harmonious place. Together with Emma, Steve and the rest of our fabulous cast they are the perfect team to realise Simon Beaufoy&#8217;s brilliant ballad of Billie and Bobby&#8211;the perfect odd couple.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe irony isn&#8217;t lost on us that we are a husband-and-wife team directing the BATTLE OF THE SEXES.\u00a0 As soon as we read Simon&#8217;s script we knew we had to make this film. We feel so fortunate to have gathered such an amazing group of artists, both behind and in front of camera,\u201d said Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Jon and Val have been a part of the Searchlight family since their debut with LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE,\u201d said Utley and Gilula. \u201cTheir ability to create real, believable characters and situations while also subtly commenting on culture is unique, and we can&#8217;t wait to see their take on this watershed moment in sports history and social change. We are proud to be reuniting with them, along with Steve, Emma, Danny and Christian, all of whom are family to us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m extremely pleased to be working again with Jonathan and Valerie as well as with Christian and Danny whose work I have long admired,\u201d said Robert Graf. \u201cI remember watching the original Battle of the Sexes in 1973 and, even as a boy, recognizing it as both an irresistible pop spectacle and part of an important cultural conversation about equality and respect &#8212; a conversation that continues vigorously today and to which we hope our film will contribute.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Joining Dayton and Faris on the film is longtime collaborator Pamela Martin who edited both LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE and RUBY SPARKS and who received an Oscar nomination for her work on THE FIGHTER.<em>\u00a0 <\/em>New to the team are director of photography Linus Sandgren, known for his cinematography on <em>Joy <\/em>and <em>American Hustle; <\/em>Oscar and BAFTA nominated production designer Judy Becker (AMERICAN HUSTLE, CAROL); and Oscar Award-winning costume designer Mary Zophres (TRUE GRIT, CATCH ME IF YOU CAN<em>).
