"Warner Bros. Secures 'Black Samurai' Film by Director Blitz Bazawule"

Warner Bros has secured the rights to the film "Black Samurai," to be directed by Blitz Bazawule, who also wrote the script and will produce under his Inward Gaze banner. The story follows Yasuke, an African warrior who served under Japanese daimyo Oda Nobunaga during the Sengoku period. The project was highly sought after, with Warner Bros ultimately winning the bidding war, likely due to their previous relationship with Bazawule following his work on The Color Purple. Bazawule is also developing a limited series for FX based on his debut novel, with Yahya Abdul-Mateen II attached to star and executive produce.
