While Paul Greengrass’ Memphis continues to languish—stalled by objections from Martin Luther King Jr.’s family, who worry it could tarnish whatever small corner they’ve yet to already ruin of his reputation—another MLK biopic is moving forward at DreamWorks, with a man whose name is synonymous with reverential treatment of history: Oliver Stone. Of course, though we may implicitly scoff at the idea of the man who made JFK, Nixon, The Doors, and Alexander getting the authorization of the King family (with all the copyrighted speeches that it comes with) to tell the civil rights leader’s story faithfully, Stone has increasingly moved toward safe, sympathetic stories like World Trade Center and W. that suggest he’s no longer particularly interested in controversy—and certainly, casting his Any Given Sunday star Jamie Foxx as King undoubtedly helped get the family’s approval.
