By Garth FranklinTuesday June 5th 2007 1:05am Every year there's a
fight between two dueling projects whether it be Alexander the Great
or Truman Capote. On very rare occasions there's even potentially
three films on the same subject.
Now however comes a unique situation - there's apparently FOUR
separate features in the works based on the life on the legendary
entertainer Sammy Davis Jr. says The New York Times. The four
contenders consist of:
"In Black and White"
Denzel Washington stars in and may direct Wil Haywood's biography for
Universal & Imagine Entertainment.
"Sammy and Kim"
Andre Benjamin (aka Andre 3000) stars in the film which deals with
Davis's affair with actress Kim Novak in the 1950s.
"Yes, I Can"
Based on Davis Jr's own 1965 autobiography and whilst no actors have
been set, this is the one Davis's widow has endorsed.
"Yes, I Can" Documentary
A documentary also based on the 1965 autobiography and Burt Boyar's
filmed interviews with Davis.
