Actor Michael B. Jordan Set To Direct THE STARS BENEATH OUR FEET

Michael B. Jordan has a lot of acting experience under his belt, but now he'll be adding director to his already impressive resume. Deadline Hollywood reports that Endeavor Content has acquired film rights to the David Barclay Moore novel The Stars Beneath Our Feet, which will be directed by Jordan. He will also produce the film adaptation and Moore will write the script and serve as executive producer. 

The book follows the story of a young African American youth tries to steer a safe path through the projects in Harlem, in the wake of his brother’s death. He is aided by his imagination and the magic of Legos.

“Directing has been an area I’ve wanted to explore for some time now. The Stars Beneath Our Feet tells a story that really spoke to me, and I’m looking forward to jumping behind the camera. I’ve had the opportunity to work with some very smart and talented directors and it inspired me to take on this new challenge."

Jordan has been in the business for a while now since his first significant role in The Wire and Friday Night Lights, before establishing himself as the real deal in Fruitvale Station. It will be interesting to see how he does as a director. This seems like it will be a solid project for him.
