“Selma” director Ava DuVernay has found her next feature film: a “sweeping love story and complex murder mystery” set against the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. Participant Media will produce the film; “Selma’s” David Oyelowo is in negotiations to star.
“I’m thrilled to reunite with my Participant family on this project and fortunate to work again with the always exquisite David Oyelowo,” explained DuVernay, who previously worked with the company on 2012’s “Middle of Nowhere” (which also starred Oyelowo). “The story we’re interested in will explore the complexities of intimate relationships within times of chaos, while also examining the chaos itself. I’m looking forward to the journey.”
