Hugh Jackman Will Star In The Selma Movie

This movie is based on the novel Push, and it has been revealed that Hugh Jackman will star in the civil rights movie Selma. It should start shooting and filming in May. This movie is going to have different actors although those that have been chosen haven’t been revealed. Robert De Niro was supposed to play George Wallace, the governor of Alabama but that might not be so now that Hugh Jackman is confirmed.

Selma, Alabama was the place where segregation in the south was at its worst, leading to the march that ended in violence, forcing a famous statement by President Johnson. This ultimately led to the official signing of the civil rights act.

It’s a moment in time in Martin Luther King and President Johnson’s life around the signing of the Civil Rights. It’s a snapshot of the march. This movie is really the story of President Johnson however Dr. King does play a part of it, and yet, it’s the arc of a man that starts out as a facist who is forced to look at himself in the mirror and ultimately side with Martin Luther King. It is a journey of a white cat and how he sneers at tradition against George Wallace, and against everyone else who is saying No.

This movie is going to be a controversial one. Although once it is in theaters no one really knows how it will prevail. Some might go to see the movie wondering if the facts are accurate, while others might go out of curiosity. Either way it is a movie dedicated to the march and the way Selma, Alabama was during that time.

If you have comments about this actor or the movie we would love to hear from you. Its always good to have opinions. There will be a release date and movie trailer at a later time. Other that Hugh Jackman no one else has been cast for the movie Selma.
