“Luke Cage” series creator Cheo Hodari Coker will pen an adaptation of Dwayne Alexander Smith’s novel “Forty Acres” at Kapital Entertainment.
The story follows a Civil Rights attorney who must fight for survival when he’s invited to join an elite black organization with a mind-blowing secret. The project is dubbed a cross between “The Firm” and “Get Out”.
The project is still in early development so casting is still a way off. Coker, Jay-Z, James Lassiter and Aaron Kaplan will serve as producers.
Coker recently produced the all-Black western “The Harder They Fall” for Netflix.
