“Candyman” and “Little Woods” director Nia DaCosta has set a film adaptation of Ta-Nehisi Coates’ bestselling novel “The Water Dancer” at MGM.
Coates penned the screenplay based on his novel which follows young Hiram Walker, who was born into bondage and loses his mother as a child before eventually losing all memory of her.
Now a young man, Hiram almost drowns when he crashes a carriage into a river, but is saved from the depths by a mysterious power he never realized he had and struggles to understand.
Maceo-Lyn, Plan B and Harpo Films are backing the project.
