Samuel L. Jackson and John David Washington are set to star in the Netflix film adaptation of August Wilson's play, The Piano Lesson. The film will mark the directorial and screenwriting debut of Malcolm Washington, and will also star Ray Fisher, Danielle Deadwyler, Michael Potts, and Corey Hawkins. The Piano Lesson is part of Wilson's famed 10-play "American Century Cycle," and is produced by Denzel Washington and Todd Black. Jackson and Washington previously starred in a Broadway revival of the play, which was the highest-grossing Wilson production ever to grace Broadway.
