Harwood writes up MLK Jr.

Ronald Harwood is the latest scribe to go and put together a version of Martin Luther King Jr.’s life that will be showcased once again to the general audience. There’s no director or actor latched onto the feature at the time, but once the project really starts going into full swing it will all quickly fall into place.

What serves as a big difference between this version of King Jr. is the permission that DreamWorks got from the actual estate prior to starting up development. Unfortunately Harwood is being rather mum on the actual plot and has this to say to Variety:

“I will not say anything about my approach to this screenplay except to say what I always say: ‘I will do my utmost to be true to truth.’?”

Harwood has many wonderful films under his belt already that he scripted, a couple of the most prominent ones being The Diving Bell and the Butterfly along with Roman Polanski’s 2002 feature The Pianist.
