In one of the most shocking pieces of news to come out of Hollywood in some time, a feature film based on the life of George Zimmerman is reportedly in the works with none other than Will Smith at the helm. Smith’s Overbrook Entertainment (I Am Legend, Hancock, The Karate Kid) has jumped on-board to finance and produce the film which is scheduled to hit theaters Spring 2015.

As polarizing of a figure that Zimmerman is, the film is sure to spark controversy among movie goers. In a statement sent to reporters, Smith stated, “It’s obvious that he’s not America’s sweetheart right now but his story is intriguing and it needs to be heard. Hitler wasn’t popular. Does that mean his story is any less interesting? Of course not. Slave masters aren’t popular but 12 Years a Slave was phenomenal. Wait until you see the finished product and judge for yourself.”

George Zimmerman is slated to receive a shade under $3.2 million from Overbrook Entertainment for his role as a consultant. No further details have been given regarding the totality of Zimmerman’s role with the production.

Jaden Smith is confirmed to be cast in the lead role of Trayvon Martin. Wilmer Valderrama is the front-runner to play the role of George Zimmerman. Production on the film set to begin in the Fall of 2014.

I can't imagine Zimmerman being okay with this if it portrays him as the racist murderer everybody thinks he is...

I suppose people are gonna start saying Will Smith is racist against black people if it portrays Zimmerman as not being a horrible person.

So more marketing over the killing of a boy.

 

Do you think Zimmerman will care how he's portrayed in the movie after he gets his money?

This is all just more garbage people will latch onto to perpetuate their arguments and justify it over a kid's death.

True. But I don't know if I'd take it if it meant they made a movie about how bad I was.

The problem is, is that most people in America are uninformed and this will only fuel racial tension that has partially subsided over the last year or so regarding this case.  I love hearing folks talk about how Zimmerman was this crazed hunter, while Trayvon was this innocent boy, or how Zimmerman was a victim, while Trayvon was a thug madman...  Considering no one actually saw the transaction that night.
