With MGM and Brad Pitt’s Plan B partners, Ross will debut his first narrative fiction project with the adaptation of Colson Whitehead’s renowned Pulitzer Prize-winning 2019 novel The Nickel Boys. A few casting calls alerted us to the endeavor, which follows the true story of abuses at Dozier School for Boys in Florida. Production will begin next month in Louisiana, specifically New Orleans, Hammond, Ponchatoula, and LaPlace, where filming will continue through December.
When Elwood Curtis, a black boy growing up in 1960s Tallahassee, is unfairly sentenced to a juvenile reformatory called the Nickel Academy, he finds himself trapped in a grotesque chamber of horrors. Elwood’s only salvation is his friendship with fellow “delinquent” Turner, which deepens despite Turner’s conviction that Elwood is hopelessly naive, that the world is crooked, and that the only way to survive is to scheme and avoid trouble. As life at the Academy becomes ever more perilous, the tension between Elwood’s ideals and Turner’s skepticism leads to a decision whose repercussions will echo down the decades.
Watch a fascinating conversation between Time director Garrett Bradley and Rossa below.
