Michael B Jordan and Brie Larson talks about working with director Destin Daniel Cretton!

Now, Hollywood stars Michael B. Jordan and Brie Larson star along with Jamie Foxx in Just Mercy. Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, Just Mercy is based on lawyer Bryan Stevenson's best-selling memoir. Michael plays Bryan, who along with local advocate Eva Ansley (Laron) takes up the case of Walter McMillian (Foxx), who was sentenced to die for the murder of an 18-year-old girl, despite there being evidence which proves his innocence.

 

Michael, who is also a co-producer of Just Mercy was all praises for his director sharing, "The positive energy Destin gave off and the tone he set is why our cast and crew was so close. It trickles down from the top and we all followed his leadership. It felt like magic because we had everyone coming together who really cared about this project and it created an environment to do something special. And as a producer, I felt the story had to be told by a person of color. Destin brings a certain honesty and real-life experience to his perspective."
