In talks to play Martin Luther King Jr?
So the news is that Foxx is in talks to play MLK in a movie directed by Oliver Stone and produced by Steven Spielberg.
Leaving aside the possible issues with Stone (though he stuck to reality for the most part with the Bush movie), what do you think about Foxx playing MLK?
Personally, I don't hate Foxx, but I just don't think he has the acting chops to pull this off. He was ok in Django and Ali, and good in Ray, but pretty bad in many other projects. Plus, I just don't see any resemblance between him and MLK.
