A couple of days ago Screen Rant reported on the rights being acquired to make a biopic about the life of the late Martin Luther King Jr. It is set to be produced by Steven Spielberg, Suzanne de Passe and Madison Jones, and is said to be, “a dream project,” for them. But it never seems to go smoothly with these sorts of things – as it turns out, there is some legal bickering going on between the three children of King which was only furthered by the acquiring of the rights to make the biopic about their father.

Martin Luther King Jr. should, and does get talked about in the same way as people like Gandhi, Malcolm X and Nelson Mandela. He’s a legendary figure, still remembered with fondness and admiration 41 years after his shocking assassination back in 1968. Following in the footsteps of the upcoming Frank Sinatra biopic, Hollywood is making a biopic about Martin Luther King Jr., with none other than Steven Spielberg attached to produce.
