Malcolm X\/Amazon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Critical Content, best known for Catfish<\/em> and Startup<\/em>, will develop a scripted drama series based on Manning Marable\u2019s Pulitzer Prize-winning biography Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention.<\/p>\n

David Matthews will pen the script and executive produce, along with Tom Forman, Andrew Marcus, and Ray Ricord, all from Critical Content. A potential network has not yet been attached to the project as producers are still searching for filmmakers to join, as stated by\u00a0The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The series will be informed by Marable\u2019s biography, which revealed previously unknown details about the evolution of Malcolm X into a human rights activist.<\/p>\n

This would become the latest of several portrayals of Malcolm X in film and television, with the most recent being Nigel Thatch\u2019s role as the activist in\u00a0Selma<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Aside from the series, Critical Content also plans on producing a subsequent documentary regarding Malcolm X\u2019s legacy.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
