Actor Don Cheadle will star in and produce the adaptation of Shane White's book 'Prince of Darkness', a biopic based on the life of the 19th Century black millionaire Jeremiah G Hamilton.
Steven Baigelman, who co-wrote the "Miles Ahead" screenplay with Cheadle, has been tapped to adapt the script of the film, reported Variety.
White's book portrays Hamilton as a larger-than-life character who defied convention during the period and amassed a USD two million fortune by the time of his death in 1875.
He dealt extensively in the white business world, married a white woman, bought a mansion in rural New Jersey, and owned railroad stock on trains he was not legally allowed to ride.
