Chadwick Boseman To Star In MESSAGE FROM THE KING
The pending France release of filmmaker Fabrice Du Welz‘s Alleuia later this month is currently getting a warm welcome from the states in lieu of his newly pending American debut, Message From The King. Moreover, it comes with much benefit to the director’s momentum combined with the addition of the film’s newest lead, actor Chadwick Boseman, whose career earned a major boost upon boarding Marvel’s platform just a few weeks ago.
We are inspired by the great thrillers of the late 1960s and 1970s; films like ‘Point Blank’, ‘The French Connection’ and the work of Paul Schrader. These films are entertaining, taut and uncompromising, and explore the darkness at the heart of their protagonists. ‘Message From The King’ is a conflicted love letter to their adopted city, written by two outsiders in a strange land.
International sales agent eOne is also co-financing and co-producing the film with a script by producer Stephen Cornwell and co-writer Oliver Butcher, with Simon Cornwell and David Lancaster also producing. Boseman will also be executive producing with Ash Shah while Marchand and Benedict Carver, Senior Vice President, Filmed Entertainment, oversee production which is expected to commense next February.
