George C. Wolfe to direct Rustin. The film tells the story of gay, civil rights activist Bayard Rustin, who organized the 1963 March on Washington. Dustin Lance Black, who won the Academy Award for best original screenplay for 2008’s “Milk,” will write the film and serve as a producer. I see you, George… stacking new projects upon the success of “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom”!

Edit: was confusing it was with the HBO Max anthology series “Equal”, that had an episode about Rustin.
Wonder if this will be Keiynan Lonsdale what Tony Blair is to Michael Sheen.

They’ll all be great as Bayard and it’ll be transformative. I wouldn’t mind seeing a newcomer though

I just checked. He looks like Bayard. But I guess he’ll be too old for it unless it’ll be centered on Bayard’s final days

Those are all great choices, Lil Tony!

Andre Holland as Bayard Rustin
Chiwetel Ejiofor as James Baldwin
Nate Parker as Martin Luther King, Jr.ReplyCopy URL👑Cicely Tyson (1924-2021)
👑Mary Wilson (1944-2021)February 14, 2021 at 6:55 pm #1204042440If it is set in or around 1963, Billy Porter? Would love for a gay actor to have this role.

He would be good. I hope they don’t cast too young.

I think it likely will go to one.

I don’t know, but with Audra McDonald in the cast, I hope they have her sing it….
