Josh Lucas To Star In MLK-Era Political Thriller ‘Slay The Dreamer’ From Joshua Michael Stern
Josh Lucas is set to star in 'Slay the Dreamer,' a new indie from filmmaker Joshua Michael Stern ('Jobs').
Lucas stars as a washed-up lawyer who in 1976, at Lawson’s request, takes on the case of Grace Walden, the only eyewitness to the man who shot King who had been involuntarily held in a mental institution outside Memphis since the assassination eight years earlier. In a statement to Deadline, producer Fowler said, “”Slay The Dreamer” is a powerful true political thriller that will remind the world of Martin Luther King’s movement that was deliberately derailed by his assassination. Recently starring in the series Palm Royale, Yellowstone and Long Slow Exhale, Lucas is also known for turns in films like Ford v Ferrari, The Lincoln Lawyer, A Beautiful Mind, American Psych o, J. Edgar, Glory Road, and Sweet Home Alabama, among many others.
