Deadline Hollywood recently reported that Michael Peña (The Martian), Zach Galifianakis (The Hangover), Chris Pine (Star Trek), André Holland (Selma), and Levi Miller (Pan) will also be in the movie.
As we have written previously, Entertainment Weekly notes the film makes “DuVernay the first woman of color to direct a live-action movie with a budget of more than $100 million.” The Hollywood Reporter writes that “DuVernay is hoping to break ground with the movie, making a big tentpole with a cast that is multicultural.”
The film is expected in 2018.
