*Wesley Snipes is involved in the 1960′s-set thriller “Code Name Zorro,” a biopic of the man who headed up the CIA’s top secret Zorro project designed to destroy Martin Luther King’s credibility.
According to Deadline, the film centers on the final moments in the life of William Sullivan, who’s Zorro project was initiated by J. Edgar Hoover and included tactics such as wiretapping and fraud to set up numerous illegal schemes.
Sullivan intended to air all of the dirty laundry about the project to a journalist, but was killed in a “hunting accident” shortly thereafter.
Justin Stamm penned the script and Snipes has received endorsement from Martin Luther King Jr.’s son, Martin Luther King III.
Snipes will produce, be involved in selecting cast and director, and will likely play a role though which one is presently undetermined.
This M F not in jail yet?
This movie has all the ingredients for a strong comeback for Snipes, but I’ll bet he has a very small budget which will probably hinder the movie from doing as well as it could. It would be nice if he could get some of Hollywood’s elite onboard at a very reduced rate for the sake of helping the film do well. Morgan Freeman, Denzel, Forest Whitaker, Whoopi Goldberg, Queen Latifah, ect. Any of these folk would definitely make the project much more successful. I wish him the best of luck with it though.
Wesley, TAKE YOUR BLACK ASS TO PRISON!!!!
