Jamie Foxx is being lined up to portray Martin Luther King, Jr. in a film directed by Oliver Stone, according to a number of recent reports.
Earlier this month, a number of outlets indicated that Stone was set to make a biopic about the iconic civil rights leader with members of King’s family involved as producers.
“We’re looking for a way to relate to this extraordinary man,” Stone told the Wall Street Journal, which characterized the director as “officially moving ahead” with Foxx.
But while Any Given Sunday collaborators Stone and Foxx may well re-team for the King project, Extreme Entertainment has learned that nothing’s been finalized.
In fact, a source close to Foxx tells Extreme Entertainment that it’s “doubtful” he’ll wind up signed for the movie.
A rep would not comment.
