Jamie Foxx is in talks to join Michael B Jordan in a courtroom drama titled Just Mercy. As reported by Variety, the film is an adaptation of Bryan Stevenson's memoir, "Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption."

It is the true story of Stevenson who fought for equality under the law in a problematic justice system. Oscar-winning actor Foxx will essay the role of a criminal who is on the death row, and is being defended by Stevenson, played by Jordan.
