Aunjanue Ellis & Four Others Set For RaMell Ross‘ Colson Whitehead Adaptation ’The Nickel Boys’ For MGM’s Orion; Plan B, Anonymous Producing

His only salvation is his friendship with fellow “delinquent” Turner, which deepens despite Turner’s conviction that Elwood is hopelessly naive, that the world is crooked, and that the only way to survive is to scheme and avoid trouble. As life at the Academy becomes ever more perilous, the tension between Elwood’s ideals and Turner’s skepticism leads to a decision whose repercussions will echo down the decades.
Details as to the roles to be played by the actors haven’t been disclosed. But Ross adapted the screenplay with two-time Academy Award nominee Joslyn Barnes of Louverture Films (Zama, Memoria). Plan B Entertainment, Anonymous Content and Barnes are producing, with Whitehead serving as exec producer. The Nickel Boys marks Plan B’s second collaboration with
