 By Josh Tarpley Don Cheadle will be producing and starring in an adaptation of “Prince of Darkness: The Untold Story of Jeremiah G. Hamilton, Wall Street’s First Black Millionaire.” After making his directorial debut with “Miles Ahead,” Cheadle will be reteaming with his screenwriter (Steven Baigelman) from that film to tell the Jeremiah Hamilton story. Though no release date is set, one can expect a studio to pick up this project with hopes of Oscars’ attention. Click beyond the jump to learn more about the the adaptation of “Prince of Darkness.” Though a provocative title, it is expected for the film adaptation of the 2015 book to take a different name. A book can have a picture of Hamilton and a longer subtitle explaining its subject matter. A movie entitled “Prince of Darkness” will only detract from the film’s audience possibilities. Per The Hollywood Reporter, the book tells the interesting story of Jeremiah Hamilton (1806-1875) as he left Haiti and became a stockbroker in New York. Hamilton’s life was filled with counterculture experiences, such as marrying a white woman and owning stock in rail companies when he would not be allowed to ride the trains in that day and age. Hamilton’s obituary called him the richest black man in America. Though he may be most known for his role as War Machine (James “Rhodey” Rhodes) in the “Iron Man” and “Captain America” films, Cheadle has has a wide-ranging career. Whether it be his work in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Golden Globe nominated “House of Lies” that ran for 5 seasons, or his Oscar nominated role in 2004’s Hotel Rwanda, Cheadle has done a little of everything. At this point he is just attached to star and produce the Jermiah Hamilton story, but it is not outside the realm of possibilities to see him direct the feature. What do you think? Is there an award-worthy movie within this material? Were you a fan of “Miles Ahead?” Let us know in the comments below!
