Jaden Smith and Liev Schreiber will star in an adaptation
of author James McBride's slightly satirical, Huckleberry Finn-esqu novel "The Good Lord Bird" says Deadline.
The story follows a young slave named Henry "Onion" Shackleford (Smith) who skips
town with abolitionist John Brown (Schreiber) who believes Henry is
actually a girl. The pair, and his crew of freedom fighters, travel
the nation meeting historical figures along the way to the Harper's Ferry raid which set the stage for the Civil War.
McBride, Schreiber and Brian Taylor will produce.
