Actor Michael B. Jordan is set to produce World War II drama
"Liberators" under his Outlier Society Productions banner.
The film,
co-produced by Safehouse Pictures, which has set the action drama up at Warner
Bros via a production deal -- will portray the true-life 761st Tank Battalion,
an African-American armoured unit which saw combat as part of the US Army during
World War II under General George S. Patton, reports hollywoodreporter.com.
There's no word yet on whether the project will adopt an inclusion rider or
not. An inclusion rider can be added to contracts so that at least 50 per cent
of the cast and crew have to be diverse.
Jordan's Outlier Society is also
working on the sci-fi series "Raising Dion" and a reboot of "The Thomas Crown
Affair" starring Jordan.
Jordan is also set to make his directorial debut
with the adaptation of David Barclay Moore's "The Stars Beneath Our Feet", which
he will also produce.
