Just Mercy (2019)

Just Mercy, a new legal film starring Michael B. Jordan, is scheduled for release in North America on January 17, 2020. Warner has also scheduled a new soul-stirring universe film to be released on July 3, 2019, which is unnamed and has no other information. Mercy of Justice will be directed by Dustin Clayton ("Juvenile Shelter" and "Glass Castle") and scripted by Andrew Lanham ("Glass Castle" and "Burrow"). Adapted from the best-selling book "Mercy of Justice: suffering and Redemption in American Justice" by Brian Stevenson, an American lawyer, it tells how he fought for justice in a flawed legal system and made great contributions to the improvement of the criminal justice system in the United States. The film focuses on Stevenson's first case: black teenager Walter McMillian was sentenced to death for a crime he did not commit, despite his ample alibi. He spent six years on death row before he was finally acquitted.
