X-Men star Hugh Jackman is attached to star in Orders to Kill for Millennium Films and director Lee Daniels.
The Los Angeles Times reports that the film is a thriller based on William F. Pepper's book of the same name that explores a conspiracy theory behind the assassination of civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
The paper says Orders to Kill "will tell the story of William Pepper (Jackman), a controversial attorney and activist who for decades has argued that convicted killer James Earl Ray, who recanted his confession and died arguing his innocence, didn't shoot MLK."
Jackman and Daniels previously tried to team for the civil rights drama Selma before that project fell apart. Jackman is currently filming The Wolverine, while Daniels' next project is the star-studded, fact-based White House drama The Butler.
