Actor David Oyelowo has been roped in to star in the movie "Cyrano the Moor".
"Moonlight" writer Tarell Alvin McCraney is on board to pen the project, reported Variety.
The idea, which is in early development, would combine elements of Edmond Rostand's play "Cyrano de Bergerac" and William Shakespeare's "Othello," set in the Bristol region of England during the 19th century.
The project will be produced by Yoruba Saxon, Oyelowo and Jessica Oyelowo. Tendo Nagenda and Chaz Salembier are overseeing for Disney.
