The story chronicles the events around the June 28th 1969 police raid on The Stonewall Inn in New York’s Greenwich Village section. The resulting riots resulted in a massive push for the gay rights movement around the world.
"War Horse" actor Jeremy Irvine will play a young man named Danny whose political awakening forms our conduit into these groundbreaking events.
X-Men: First Class and Antiviral star Caleb Landry Jones would play Orphan Annie, a gay street hustler who forms a bond with Irvine and ends up participating in the movement.
Beauchamp would play Ray Castro, another gay activist and one of the first men arrested during the riots. He's also a love interest for Irvine's character.
Roland Emmerich will call action here using a script written by Jon Robin Baitz.
The film will be produced by Emmerich Michael Fossat and Marc Frydman.
Production begins later this year. Emmerich will film Stonewall before starting work on the long gestating Independence Day sequels.
