Three-time Oscar-winning filmmaker Oliver Stone has been ousted as writer and director of the new Martin Luther King, Jr. biopic. He claims producers “won’t go with” his story about the Civil Rights icon that addresses rumors of infidelity and radicalism. The story was expected to follow the slain Civil Rights hero from his rise all the way to his assassination in 1968.
Jamie Foxx was set to play King.
Stone confirmed on Twitter this Friday that he’s no longer working on the project. Check out his timeline which confirms there are definite creative differences.
