David Oyelowo stars as Martin Luther King Jr.
in “Selma,” directed by Ava DuVernay, right.
The historical drama “Selma” hits a few screens on Christmas, opening wide on Jan. 9.
A preview screening takes place in Birmingham at 7 p.m. Jan. 6 at the Carmike Summit 16, and free passes are available.
The movie tells the story of the civil rights march from Selma to Montgomery in 1965, led by Martin Luther King Jr. (David Oyelowo, recently in “Interstellar” and “Lee Daniels’ The Butler”). Ava DuVernay, who became the first African-American woman to win the Sundance Best Director Prize in 2012, signed on to direct after Lee Daniels chose to make “The Butler.”
Oprah Winfrey and Brad Pitt are among the producers.
“Selma” shot primarily around Atlanta, but did some on-location work in Selma and Montgomery.
Free passes for the Jan. 6 screening are available from Gofobo.
