Subject: #4 MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. TO RETURN TO SELMA Author: Gina [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 13:57:10 06/21/08 Sat #4 MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. TO RETURN TO SELMA Surprisingly buried in Variety this week was information about Selma, a drama about Martin Luther King, Jr.'s freedom marches in Selma, Alabama in the 1960s, and specifically the relationship between King and President Johnson, who signed the Voting Rights Act a few months later. As much of an icon as Reverend King is, 40 years after his death, we still do not have a modern Hollywood movie in which he is a major character (much less a proper biopic about MLK). Produced by Brad Pitt's Plan B Productions, Selma is expected to start filming in early 2009, from a script by Paul Webb (cowriter of Steven Spielberg's upcoming Lincoln biopic, a fitting association). Funny, Selma was my grandma's name. This movie sounds excellent. I love to watch movies about Martin Lurther King.He was such an inspiration to this world.Love that it took place in a town same name as my grandma. I get such warm feelings anytime I think of her and the love she carried for me. So if they call the movie Selma, that would work for me!! I would take it as a sign that I am meant to see it.
