Jonathan Majors has landed a role in the upcoming adaptation of ‘The Man In My Basement’ from Nadia Latif.
The Walter Mosley novel follows Charles Blakey, an African American man living in Sag Harbor, who is stuck in a rut, out of luck and about to lose his ancestral home when a peculiar white businessman with a European accent offers to rent his basement for the summer. He’ll pay $50,000. This lucrative proposition leads Charles down a terrifying path that takes him to the heart of race, history and the root of all evil.
Majors will also serve as an executive producer, under his Tall Street Productions banner. Latif makes her directorial debut on the project. Mosley adapted the novel with Latif.
