The movie will also star John David Washington and Danielle Deadwyler.
The story focuses on the aftermath of the Great Depression in Pittsburgh in 1936, centring on the Charles family led by Jackson's Doaker Charles and their family heirloom – a piano decorated with designs carved by an enslaved ancestor.
Washington is set to take on the role of Boy Willie, Doaker's nephew, while the movie will be directed by Malcolm Washington, who also co-writes the adaptation alongside Virgil Williams. John David's father Denzel Washington is also on board as a producer. Jackson and John David Washington recently appeared in a Broadway revival of the production alongside Fisher and Potts.
