    Not at the moment ,we are friends on Face book and Adam Pollack ,another FB friend ,has confirmed that a guy has a film script about Langford which he is currently touting around trying to get some one interested.It's certainly about time Langford got his dues.

    I'd much rather see a film about Johnson with Langford strong supporting. But i'll take what I can get.

    Nobody needs a film more than Barney Ross.

    There needs to be a high production Jack Johnson movie.

    Imagine the trailer:
    Slow shots of angry people in a crowd, fuming and yelling.
    It's from a long time ago. They're almost all white.
    It's a boxing match.
    More shots of angry white crowd.
    And then cut to the Boxing shoes of someone in the ring.
    It slowly pans up, reveal black skin.
    Finally the camera reaches his face, where the boxer Jack Johnson is calmly grinning cheek to cheek with a golden grill, juxtaposed with the aesthetic background of the angry white crowd behind him. It looks like his show.

    "JACK JOHNSON"
    "November 2018"
