Jay Z and the Weinstein Co. are partnering to tell Trayvon Martins story on the big and small screens.
EW has confirmed that the rap mogul and the studio have secured the rights to two books about Martin, the unarmed black Florida teenager who was fatally shot by a neighborhood watch volunteer in 2012, igniting a national debate about racial profiling and civil rights.
The plan is to develop a narrative film and a six-part docuseries about Martin based on the books Suspicion Nation: The Inside Story of the Trayvon Martin Injustice and Why We Continue to Repeat It, by civil rights attorney and NBC News analyst Lisa Bloom, and Rest in Power: The Enduring Life of Trayvon Martin, by Martins parents, Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin.
Jay Z signed a first-look deal with TWC in the fall, and he and studio chief Harvey Weinstein produced the recent prison reform docuseries Time: The Kalief Browder Story. The Weinstein Co. also distributed the critically acclaimed 2013 film Fruitvale Station about the fatal shooting of another unarmed young black man, Oscar Grant.
Variety first reported the news.
Hardly. The left wants to pretend that Trevon Martin was hunted down like a dog, when in fact he (AND Michael Brown) died because he started a fight with a guy who had a gun.
Who’s going to play the ‘I don’t read cursive’ girlfriend? LOOOOOL!
Let's see, George Zimmerman will be an 100% Caucasian (not a Hispanic) who has a klan hood and the Confederate Battle Flag flying at his house. St. Trayvon will be a straight A+ student who got accepted at MIT... :-)
I expect to see the part where he approaches Zimmerman, and hands him a flower he picked off a hibiscus bush, and says;” Good evening Mr Zimmerman, are you enjoying your walk? Would you like to share my ice tea drink?”
How is that iced tea?
They already went there.

Malaria obama works for weinstein, maybe he’s grooming her to play the treyvon girlfriend part. She may have to learn to not read cursive though.
A celebration of Thug Life?
An homage to an aspiring MMA fighter?
A documentary on what Purple Drank does to the brain and liver?
Would you like how they would remake 'Gilligan's Island's or 'Gone With The Wind'? 😀
Hollywood makes more money on the international market then domestically. So not only does it fit Tinseltown’s ideology to make anti-American movies it now it fits their ledger books!
...I can only imagine the sainthood they will bestow upon this street thug....
He will join St. Michael Brown in Thug Life Heaven.
Note: this topic is from . Thanks and bon voyage 2ndDivisionVet.
Let’s help them out with a tagline. How about;
“Suspend your belief in the truth.”
“Pay no attention to the trial results.”
George Zimmerman is going to be rich from the lawsuits.
Will that Eugene Diamond girl make an appearance???
Maybe they can get Jessie Smollett to play Travon. I hear he needs the work.
