The Signal Hill wrongful death movie reunites Jamie Foxx with Ray director Taylor Hackford.
Jamie Foxx will play wrongfully convicted Black Panther Party leader Elmer 'Geronimo' Pratt in the upcoming Johnnie Cochran wrongful death legal film Signal Hill. The film stars Anthony Mackie and will be directed by Taylor Hackford, who directed himself and Foxx into Oscars for the film Ray. The screenplay was written by David MacMillan. Signal Hill plans to go into production in January.
Johnny Cochran is best known as the lawyer who couldn’t fit gloves on O.J. Simpson. The legal strategy acquitted the former football star of the 1995 murder trial of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ron Goldman. In 1981, Cochran worked on the wrongful death case of college American football star Ron Settles. Signal Hill will centre on Cochran’s efforts to get to the bottom of the case.
