MOVIE NEWS: ISAIAH WASHINGTON TO PLAY D.C. SNIPER

Remember John Allen Williams? The man who carried out those sniper attacks in Virginia, Maryland and Washington D.C? According to a source, former ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ actor/author Isaiah Washington is slated to play the D.C. Sniper in a new film:

Isaiah Washington is set to star in Blue Caprice, a thriller about the sniper attacks that terrorized the Washington DC area in October 2002. Alexandre Moors is directing the project. Washington will play John Allen Williams, who joined the Nation of Islam and changed his surname to Muhammad years before going on a shooting spree with a young accomplice, Lee Boyd Malvo, that took the lives of at least ten people. The pair was caught after the authorities informed the public to look for a former police car. Williams was eventually tried, convicted and executed in 2009. [Source]

No word on who will be playing his accomplice, Lee Boyd Malvo but the film will start shooting sometime next month in New York City. A part of me is wondering why in the world they’re making a movie about this.

As many of you know, John Allen was executed back in 2009 for his crimes and Lee Boyd Malvo is currently serving life in prison.

    I just paid $22.87 for an iPad2-64GB and my girlfriend loves her Panasonic Lumix GF 1 Camera that we got for $38.76 there arriving tomorrow by UPS. I will never pay such expensive retail prices in stores again. Especially when I also sold a 40 inch LED TV to my boss for $675 which only cost me $62.81 to buy. Here is the website we use to get it all from, HitPenny.çom

  4. HeyNicciHeyNicci

    Hmmmm…..well all other factors aside, I CAN say that they did a good job with the casting. He does resemble the man…

    • I'm in love... with myself.

      I agree with you on the resemblence. I think it will make a great movie. I was alive when that happened so to me I will be part of history. I always wanted to know the truth behind the spree. Lame I know but hey what can I say.

    Isaiah needs a check BAD after that Grey’s Anatomy fiasco! And if it makes to the big screen it will be a good look and put in back into movies. Trust me he needs work.

  6. Regg

    Casting director needs a raise!!!

  7. ZULU

    LMAO. I guess this is the final nail to the cross from the good white folk after he called that wimp a f*ggot.

  8. mon

    dont do….why would anyone make a movie about this?

  9. Melissa B

    To those asking why they’re making a movie about this subject – what about all of the big screen movies made about serial killers? – Arlene Wanous (Charlize Theron won an oscar for that); Jeffrey Dahmer, Zodiack Killer, Ted Bundy & on & on till the break of dawn.

    I think Isaiah Washington is a terrific actor – certainly better than those he worked with on Grey’s so I’m sure he’ll be great in the role.

  10. Indigo

    I don’t like how they have the split screen thing going on.. NO,WE DON’T ALL LOOK A-LIKE! Just goes to show,a brother is always one step away from a mug shot.

  11. Indigo

    Or, are they so amazed a black man will be playing a serial killer… This is not the first.

  12. pz

    the question is why would they NOT make a movie about this???? what is the problem?!

  13. TRUTHBTOLD

    the real question is, why are they making ANOTHER movie about this (D.C. Sniper: 23 Days of Fear, 2003) . However, this falls in line with most movies that are about Black folks. ( The Help #87 will come out AGAIN, as well)

  14. STACYH

    HE F*C*ED HIS MONEY UP ON GREYS ANATOMY, NOW HE HAS TO MAKE A COMPLETE IDIOT OF HIMSELF AGAIN & DO A Despicable MOVIE LIKE THIS………WOW, HOLLYWOOD STRUGGLE.

  15. STACYH

    HAVE RAPPER WEEBIE PLAY MALVO! LMAO!!!

  16. elle

    I really wish they wouldn’t make a movie about this or any other crazy killings. That dude is still alive in prison bout to be even more famous for some horrible crap. Lets pray for the families of the victims who still and forever will be stressed over this and leave this story alone. Like someone already mentioned, that made for tv movie was too much. No need to chew this up again.

  17. ERIC

    There’s nothing thrilling or entertaining about this violent tragedy, so I would hope that it’s depicted as a serious drama if they’re gonna do it all. But either way, I don’t think the killers deserve the attention or any royalties that might be paid to them for using their name and likeness.

  18. Carmen Alicia Belcher

    The co-star who plays Lee Boyd Malvo is TeQuan Richmond of Everybody Hates Chris. The director is the same artist behind Kanye West’s ‘Runaway” film with Selita Ebanks.
