I forgot to mention that Dr. King put a copyright on most of his work while he was still alive. It's not in the public domain, for the most part. Another reason that more movies, etc. aren't made about him.LauraTue, 16 Jan 2007 00:56:02 -0000http://newcritics.com/blog1/2007/01/15/portraying-dr-king/#comment-1369249The King estate has a whole bunch of stipulations on use of his image and materials. Makes it very difficult for writers to work with, unfortunately.LauraTue, 16 Jan 2007 00:53:44 -0000http://newcritics.com/blog1/2007/01/15/portraying-dr-king/#comment-1369248Tom, I think you may be correct about King being too iconic to portray. It is surprising that there hasn't been more movies or television programs created about him.ClaireMon, 15 Jan 2007 18:08:12 -0000
