Fixed Point Films is developing a film about the 1906 lynching of Ed Johnson in Tennessee and the legal battle that followed. They will use on Mark Curriden and Leroy Phillips's book "Contempt of Court" as the basis for the film with Jonah M. Hirsch set to produce.
Johnson was murdered after being sentenced to death for the alleged rape of a white woman. Johnson's court-appointed attorneys decided not to appeal the ruling but two local black attorneys took up the case and went to the Supreme Court to argue that Johnson's constitutional rights had been violated.
When granted a stay of execution, a mob broke into the jail where Johnson was held and lynched him, leaving a note telling the judge who granted the stay to "Come get your n---- now". The local sheriff and several others were convicted of contempt of court - the only criminal trial ever held by the U.

In my recent piece about the film versions of Chester Himes' characters, NYPD detectives Coffin Ed Johnson and Grave Digger H Jones (Here), I mentioned that "A Rage in Harlem" would certainly be counted as one, even though Coffin Ed and Grave Digger are basically supporting characters and not the leads in the film. Regardless, director Bill Duke’s 1991 film version of Himes’ novel is a wonderfully evocative and entertaining film that somehow hasn’t gotten the kind of fervent love and devotion that other black films have gotten from that period, such as, "Love Jones" (which is still a mystery to me). For my money "Harlem" - about a gangster’s...

I know everyone talks about wanting to see Octavia Butler’s novels up on the big screen but, speaking for myself, the writer whose works I would love to see most on the big screen is Chester Himes. And by that, I mean his series of detective novels with his two immortal characters - the NYPD detective team of Grave Digger Jones and Coffin Ed Johnson. Those novels, "The Real Cool Killers," "The Heats On," "The Crazy Kill," "All Shot Up," "The Big Gold dream" and "A Rage in Harlem" are incredibly exciting, funny, visceral, fast paced thrillers, and Himes had an extraordinary visual sense and style to his works. They seem...
