Jay Z & Weinstein Co. Set To Tackle Trayvon Martin’s Story In A Movie & Docuseries
Jay Z and
the Weinstein Co. have acquired the rights to two books centered on
Trayvon Martin, with plans to film a feature film and docuseries.
The two books are
Suspicion Nation: The Inside Story of the Trayvon Martin Injustice and Why We Continue to Repeat It, written by attorney
Lisa Bloom, and
Rest in Power: The Enduring Life of Trayvon Martin, which was authored by Trayvon’s parents,
Sybrina Fulton and
Tracy Martin.
Suspicion mostly was a fact-based book that
covered the trial, while
Rest in Power was a loving, intimate profile about their son Trayvon and how the case affected their family.
This news comes just a day after part four of the six-part docuseries
The Kalief Browder Story aired. Jay Z and Weinstein were the producers behind that project too.
