Gugu Mbatha-Raw on the set of ‘The Free State of Jones’ in New Orleans, Louisiana

soph-okonedo:Gugu Mbatha-Raw was on the set of ‘The Free State of Jones’ in New Orleans, Louisiana
Free State Of Jones is based on the untold and extraordinary story of Newton Knight, the leader of one of the greatest rebellions in Civil War historyand we hear that STX may finance (up to $20M) for the $65M-budgeted story of one of the most controversial men from the that era. McConaughey is in talks to play the Mississippian, who defected from the Confederate Army, banded together with a group of like-minded soldiers, and set out to form their own State known as the Free State Of Jones.
Knight would later have a common-law marriage to a former slave, one of the first outwardly mixed racial unions in the South — unheard of at the time. The rebellious Knight actually fought against the Confederates from within the state and after the war freed children still enslaved after a daring raid.

As civil war divides the nation, a poor farmer from Mississippi leads a group of rebels against the Confederate army.
