DreamWorks has a dream. Okay, so that was tacky, but it got your attention. The studio has signed Academy Award winning screenwriter Ronald Harwood (“The Pianist”) to write its Martin Luther King Jr. biopic. They acquired the life rights in May.

This will be the first big screen representation authorized by the King estate, and DreamWorks has full access to King’s intellectual property. Harwood isn’t hinting at how he is going to approach the project.

Picking Harwood as the scribe is a wonderful, given his near-obsession with racial themes. Makes sense, he is from South Africa.

About Josh Rollins

Josh Rollins is currently writing his eighth novel, and by eighth we mean first, and by first we mean he's not writing it. Josh does stand-up comedy, radio production, and grocery store clerking, all very poorly. The only thing he is actually pretty good at is watching movies.
