SELMA revolves around the historic marches staged by King in 1965 in Selma, Alabama, to help get voting rights for African Americans listed
Kravitz, who starred in Precious is set to play the civil rights activist Andrew Young,
We previously thought Jackman would play James Reeb, a minister who was beaten to death by damn segregationists during the marches.. but that’s NOT the case.. because Jackman is actually going to play the hot tempered racist sheriff Jim Clark, whose violent arrests of civil rights protesters got international attention.
The one thing still unclear is who will play the racist governor George Wallace.. Robert De Niro was previously rumored and then there was confirmation but then now the report is saying the role is still up for grabs…
SELMA starts production in May, produced by Christian Colson (Slumdog Millionaire)
