Spike Lee’s true-life drama Black Klansman has added Adam Driver and Laura Harrier to its cast. The film is being produced by QC Entertainment, Blumhouse Productions and Monkeypaw Productions, the team behind this year’s smash-hit horror/thriller Get Out.
Black Klansman tells the story of Ron Stallworth (John David Washington), an African-American police detective who in the ’70s infiltrated the Ku Klux Klan in Colorado Springs, CO and improbably rose inside the organization’s ranks, briefly becoming the bodyguard of KKK Grand Wizard David Duke and later being asked to serve as head of the Colorado Springs chapter. Charlie Wachtel, David Rabinowitz, Spike Lee, and Kevin Willmont wrote the script based on Stallworth’s own book about his incredible experience.
