Steven Spielberg has acquired the rights to make a film about the life of Martin Luther King Jr.
Dreamworks Studios said it had secured the rights to make the film from the King estate, which it hoped would create the “the definitive portrait” of the murdered activist’s tumultuous life.
“We are all honoured that the King Estate is giving us the opportunity to tell the story of these defining, historic events,” Mr Spielberg said.
“It is our hope that the creative power of film and the impact of Dr King’s life can combine to present a story of undeniable power that we can all be proud of.”
