Earlier today, we shared first pictures from the upcoming “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom,” which stars Viola Davis and Chadwick Boseman, in the actor’s final performance before his untimely passing. The film marks the second major production based on the plays of August Wilson, after the Oscar-winning “Fences.” And Denzel Washington is the man that is leading the charge at making sure more of Wilson’s works get filmed, as he’s already attempting to put together an all-star cast and crew for yet another, “The Piano Lesson.”

According to a New York Times piece, it is revealed that Denzel Washington is already planning his next August Wilson-inspired film project, an adaptation of the 1987 play, “The Piano Lesson.” Not only is Washington already developing the idea, but he already has a cast and director he’d like to bring aboard. The report claims that actors Samuel L. Jackson and John David Washington (Denzel’s son, who recently starred in “Tenet”) are the duo being approached for the film, as well as Barry Jenkins as a potential director. [+]
