Universal Sticks By Paul Greengrass, Makes MEMPHIS

Memphis is about the final days of Martin Luther King as he organized the titular city’s sanitation workers for a strike. It’s prime Greengrass material – a true story that he can turn his journalistic lens on, bringing a sad moment in history to vivid, truthful life. I like Greengrass’ Bourne films A LOT, but there’s no denying that these true stories – like Bloody Sunday and United 93 – bring out the best in him.

The film will shoot this June, putting it ahead of a whole slew of other MLK pics in the planning stages.
