Howard and Grace join 'Crusade'

Terrence Howard and Topher Grace will star in a film about court case 'Brown v the Board of Education'.

Jun 21 2006

Terrence Howard and Topher Grace are in talks to star in 'The Crusaders', a political drama about one of the most important court cases in US history.

Loosely based on Jack Greenberg's memoir 'Crusaders in the Court', the film will recount the 1954 Supreme Court case 'Brown v the Board of Education', a landmark decision that helped end segregation in American schools.

John Romano ('Intolerable Cruelty') is working on the script, while Alex Graves, executive producer (and sometime helmer) of 'The West Wing', will direct.
