Terrence Howard (Hustle & Flow, Crash) is in talks to play Thurgood Marshall in a feature about the early legal career of the first black Supreme Court justice, says The Hollywood Reporter.
The Crusaders is the true story of Marshall as seen through the eyes of Jack Greenberg, a dedicated young lawyer who became the only white member of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund and who fought side by side with Marshall in the courts to destroy segregation. When he worked for the NAACP, Marshall won 29 of the 32 cases he argued before the Supreme Court.
Brad Silberling (Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events) is in talks to direct the New Line Cinema project from a script by The West Wing alumni Lawrence O'Donnell and Paul Redford.
