*Marcus Henderson, last seen in Jordan Peele’s blockbuster “Get Out,” has joined Alfre Woodard in “Juanita,” with “The Wire” director Clark Johnson attached to helm, reports Deadline.
As previously reported, the drama follows Juanita (Woodard) who, fed up with her deadbeat grown kids and marginal urban existence, takes a Greyhound bus to Montana where she reinvents herself and finds her mojo.
Adam Beach, Ashlie Atkinson, Tsulan Cooper and Kat Smith have also been cast in the film adaptation of the novel Dancing On The Edge Of The Roof by Sheila Williams.
Roderick Spencer wrote the screenplay, which is expected to begin production this month.
Homegrown Pictures’ Stephanie Allain and Mel Jones are producing along with Mandalay’s Jason Michael Berman.
Next for Henderson is a recurring role in John Singleton’s upcoming FX drama series “Snowfall.”
