Indie Atlantic Studios has optioned the rights to Pulitzer Prize-winning author Gilbert King’s books “Devil In The Grove: Thurgood Marshall, the Groveland Boys and the Dawn of a New America” and “Beneath a Ruthless Sun: A True Story of Violence, Race, and Justice Lost and Found.”
The Producer and director Katie McEntire Wiatt said they expect production to begin this year.
“Right now we’re in the development phase and so we’re hopeful that we’ll be able to wrap that up in the next several months and then start production as soon as that is over,” McEntire Wiatt said. “If everything went as planned, we would hope to start production later this year.”
McEntire Wiatt, 41, is best known for a film she directed, “Fly Like A Girl,” an award-winning documentary about female aviators.
