Antoine Fuqua Charts The Life Of "Robert Peace"

"The Equalizer" director Antoine Fuqua is attached to helm a film adaptation of author Jeff Hobbs' true story infused  novel "The Short and Tragic Life of Robert Peace" says THR.



The story centers on a young African-American man who left the crime-ridden streets of Newark to attend Yale University and study molecular biochemistry and biophysics. However, the troubles from his upbringing continued to plague him until his violent and all-too-soon end.

Hobbs, the author, was his college roommate and friend.

Matt Jackson and Rebecca Hobbs will produce.
