Letitia Wright has bagged her next project, the American remake of French comedy-drama Le Brio. According to Variety, the project is being
produced by John Legend's Get
Lifted banner.
The original film was directed by Yval Attal and narrated the story of a young French-Arab woman (played by Camelia Jordana) who enrols in a university to pursue law, only to face racism-tainted humiliation from her controversial professor (essayed by Daniel Auteuil), who then becomes her mentor.
French producer Dimitri Rassam has teamed with Legend on the project, which will be co-financed by Endeavor Content.
"Ultimately, the film will show how sharing knowledge can help build bridges between people from different generations and backgrounds, as well as help people overcome their own prejudices and anger," explained Rassam.
