Social Angst...: Cinema Call: Ronald Hardwood To Scribe MLK Script for Dreamworks

SOCIAL ANGST is more than just a blog, it is an invitation to aid in the building of wealth through the shared task of information distribution and discussion. It is a call to engage – engage in society, engage with your peers, engage in your political system, engage in spreading the wealth that is information, and engage in multiplying that wealth through discussion – so that collectively we may become more socially aware, more socially responsible, more socially vocal and ultimately more socially valuable.

South African native and Oscar winning screenwriter Ronald Hardwood has been retained by producer Steven Spielberg and Dreamworks to scribe the screenplay for the first major biographical motion picture of civil rights legend Martin Luther King, Jr. Hardwood, who received Oscar nominations for his screen plays "The Dresser" and "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly," and won the award in 2002 for "The Pianist," is tasked with using the intellectual property of Martin Luther King's estate to "create the definitive portrait of his life".

Rueters.com is reporting that the selection of Hardwood by Dreamworks could mark the end of legal disputes between the film company and members of MLK's estate.
