| Lee Daniels |
Lee Daniels is following in Tyler Perry's footsteps after watching the success of "For Colored Girls Only" by possibly bringing a broadway musical to the big screen. The Scottsboro Boys, a story about nine African-American men wrongly accused of raping two white women in Alabama in 1930, is a true story.

After much success with 'Precious,' 'The Woodsman,' and 'Shadow Boxer,' Daniels is considering bring the story to life after the actual Broadway musical received protests and low ticket sales. But Daniels is one of the few people that fell in love with the production, and watched it several times.
The musical also received the Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Musical, and the Outer Critics Circle Award when it originated off-Broadway.
If the movie is as authentic as the block buster 'Precious,' then we know Daniels will make us proud.
