British filmmaker Justin Chadwick ("Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom," "Tulip Fever") is in negotiations to helm an untitled biopic about lawyer Johnnie Cochran that stars Anthony Mackie ("Captain America: Civil War") in the role.
David McMillan penned the script which deals with the 1981 wrongful death case of college football star Ron Settles who hung himself in a city jail cell in despair over his arrest for speeding.
Cochran suspected foul play and persuaded the Settles family to request that the body be exhumed for an autopsy, which showed Settles had been choked to death and his family was subsequently awarded $1 million in a civil suit.
Cochran remains best known for his defense of O.J. Simpson in the 1995 murder case and was memorably played by Courtney B. Vance in FX's recent "American Crime Story" series.

Directed by Romeo Tirone
Airs Mondays at 9 Pm Est on Fox

After a winter hiatus, Sleepy Hollow returns with one of its most complete episodes of its first season. “Vessel” takes all of the elements which make Sleepy Hollow a good show and blends them almost perfectly. From superficial elements like Ichabod’s (Tom Mison) reactions to modern clothes and wacky, alternate takes on early American history to more serious things like fleshing out Frank’s (Orlando Jones) relationship with his family and Moloch’s larger plot. This episode also features some scenes of visceral horror and a plot that kicks into gear ten minutes into the episode and doesn’t hit the brakes until the denouement. Goffman and McMillan weld this episode’s story to Sleepy Hollow‘s overall arc while Melissa Blake...
