Antoine Fuqua is to direct and produce an all-Black film adaptation of Tennessee Williams play Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.
The project is based on the hugely successful 2008 Broadway revival, which made history as the first all African-American presentation of the play.
The Training Day director has joined forces with producers Stephen C. Byrd and Alia Jones-Harvey, who backed the history-making production on Broadway, and they said in a statement that the new movie will combine elements of the play with new storylines and weave them together to bring the production to the big screen.
Fuqua will also serve as producer on the project, alongside Byrd and Jones-Harvey, according to Variety.
