Selma, the biopic of Martin Luther King, has finally been given the green light for production.

Even more news for the highly anticipated film is that it will be produced by everyone’s favourite talk-show host, Oprah Winfrey.

Selma will be distributed by Paramount Pictures and it has been said that Liam Neeson and Hugh Jackman may be up for roles – we can only hope!

The movie will be set around the time of King’s campaign for voting rights in 1965.

We are really looking forward to this movie – even more now that Oprah is involved!
