Fox is planning to release the film Jan. 13, 2017, to coincide with the Martin Luther King holiday weekend.

Taraji P. Henson recently signed with UTA for representation, and the agency wasted no time in lining up a starring role in a studio movie.

It’s important to point out that 20th Century Fox is working with their leading lady as she stars as Cookie Lyon on Fox’s mega-hit series Empire, for which she won a Golden Globe earlier this month.
