Production – What we know about the Martin Luther King Jr. Project

Key Facts

Chris Rock is in talks to direct and produce a biopic (10/5/2023).
As DreamWorks principal Steven Spielberg explains, "I wouldn't call it a biopic, it's more a story of King and the movement and also about how his admiration for Mahatma Gandhi helped to shape his moral core."
This project is the first to be authorized by King's estate and gives the producers the right to utilize King's intellectual property, including his "I Have a Dream" speech.
