The production house’s latest film is the upcoming adventure The Water Man, which is also David Oyelowo’s feature-length directorial debut.
We saw firsthand David’s meaningful contributions to Queen of Katwe and have admired the films Yoruba Saxon have produced thus far.
According to a report from Deadline, Golden Globe-nominated actor, producer, and director David Oyelowo (Nightingale, Selma) and his wife, actress, writer, and producer Jessica Oyelowo (Sleepy Hollow) have signed a two-year-first-look-deal with Walt Disney Pictures for future feature-length films.
The Oyelowos will produce the films through their Yoruba Saxon label, with the report stating that the films could end up on any of the various Disney platforms that the studio owns.
