Mahershala Ali is weighing whether or not to star in the upcoming prison drama Solitary.
Solitary is based on Albert Woodfox’s 2019 memoir, Solitary: Unbroken by Four Decades In Solitary Confinement, My Story of Transformation and Hope, which chronicled the 43 years he spent in solitary confinement at Louisiana’s notorious Angola Prison.
Plot details are scarce, but the film hails from A Quiet Place writers Scott Beck and Bryan Woods and Utopia director Marc Mundon.
Ali started off the year taking home his second Oscar for his role in Green Book.
