Seems like a bad idea – whatever Stone has in mind, Spielberg and the estate will rein him in severely, and declawed Stone is of no interest on this subject at all.

Stone tried to make a MLK film already. He wanted to contrast his personal misgivings with his social message and allow the contradictions the chance to really swim together in one portrait. Stone still has talent but has to have the right project to be able to work with. I don't know if a big budgeted MLK film brought to you by Dreamworks really is that project. Sounds like a glad hand project.

OK, I'm finished with Oliver Stone. There is no way this will be any good. He's lost his touch for many years. In fact, he should just retire because he doesn't have what it takes to make a good film anymore.

I love early Oliver Stone. But knowing the Oliver Stone of late he'd probably want to place focus entirely on the dullest but most scandalous parts of who MLK was.
Oliver Stone's mindset: "Did you know MLK liked sex?! He had more sex than anyone else on the planet. He might have even dressed up in white face & had a gay orgy with other male historical figures! I'm not saying he did… but he might have "

Within a similar character vibe such as Gandhi and Mandela, in terms of causes they were fighting for, I believe Oliver Stone can definitely pull it off.
And, even though, Jamie Foxx is a great actor, he doesn't look like him. If he get a good makeup to resemble MLK, I guess he can pull it off.
Is good to know that a movie about him is in the making!

Oliver Stone, I think, would reduce MLK to a pawn of one of his conspiratorial fantasies… And Jamie Foxx as MLK? I dunno.
