Variety is reporting that writer Charles Murray will be adapting the bestselling book “Truevine” by Beth Macy for Paramount Pictures.
“Truevine” is the true story of George and Willie Muse, black Albino brothers bearing golden dreadlocks who, in 1899, at the ages of 9 and 6, were considered “genetic anomalies” yet visually ideal when spied by James “Candy” Shelton, a white bounty hunter scouring the area for “freaks” to enslave in a circus sideshow.
Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Davidson’s Appian Way banner is producing.
Murray has worked on numerous Marvel TV shows including Netflix’s “Luke Cage,” on which he also serves as an exec producer, and “Inhumans.” He directed the 2013 film “Things Never Said.” Additionally, he is writing “Micheaux: The Great and Only” for HBO films and Zadan and Meron Productions. Previously, Murray worked on “Sons of Anarchy,” where he also served as a co-executive producer, “Criminal Minds,” “Roots,” “The Bastard Executioner,” and “Star Wars: The Clone Wars.”
