Hmmmmmm......is there a role for a 66 year old guy who's missing the Emmy for Triple Crown of Acting? Um.........just sayin' Toni Morrison’s novel Song of Solomon is getting the TV treatment with a limited series adaptation in the works with Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom director George C. Wolfe in talks to adapt.
American Gods producer Fremantle secured the rights to the book and will produce in conjunction with Wolf Hall producer Playground Entertainment.
Wolfe has received plaudits for directing Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, the feature film based on the August Wilson play starring Viola Davis and Chadwick Boseman that was released in November on Netflix. Wolfe is in talks to write and direct the project, which is going out to broadcasters and platforms shortly.

The book is great. I'm really curious to see how this turns out. Angela Bassett should play Pilate!

Does this hypothetical 66 year old actor care about an Emmy though is the question.

Great book, and I think the miniseries format is perfect for it.
