This film has been in the works for almost two years. It goes into production next month. Possible 2017 release? Robin Bissell (“The Hunger Games”) adapted and will direct the film.

Civil Rights activist, Ann Atwater, faces off against the Ku Klux Klan during the 1960s in order to desegregate schools in Durham, North Carolina.

I’m confused. Is Taraji still shooting Proud Mary?

Im also predicting way early that Babou Ceesay will get nominated and maybe even win. I don’t even know who he is playing but He is such a remarkable actor. He is so talented and he is just now breaking out. He is incredible on Guerilla. If you’re not watching that amazing show, stop reading this and watch it now.

I assume the film will be ready for this year. It’s an indie film which won’t require much post production. Unless they want to wait for it to debut at Sundance or Cannes next year.

I actually think Ceesay has the baitiest role of the cast save for Taraji. Ceesay’s character is very defiant from what I’ve read. While Atwater was a fearless, no-BS kinda woman and the only person brave enough to face Ellis (Rockwell).

The book is great. Taraji is clearly in an Oscar-bait lane now with this and “Hidden Figures.” This is more baity than that was. It could also be Sam Rockwell’s first Oscar nomination too, which is way overdue.
