that is going to be broadcast on HBO? I'd read that Denzel had bought the rights to all of August Wilson's plays. If it's not I guess he's going to do a seperate Fences production on HBO along with the other plays?

I am under the impression it is for released to theaters.
I didn't know he had Wilson's rights to plays,
I saw the original play years ago with James earl Jones

Fences is being done only as a major motion picture. The other Wilson plays are being produced for HBO.

One of the plays was already done on TV in 1995-The Piano Lesson. I hope he does more of these.
