Controversial Malcolm X Biography Adapted for Drama Series


In 2011 the late historian Manning Marable caused a firestorm after his Malcolm X biography 'Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention' included claims the iconic civil rights leader had been an occasional gay for pay prostitute during his days as a street hustler [click here if you missed that].

Now the book is being turned into a series...

According to reports an independent studio called Critical Content has optioned the book for a drama series.

Details are scarce and the casting choices have not been made public, but the studio also plans to film a Malcolm X documentary that will focus on his legacy following his assassination.
