LOS ANGELES — “Zero Dark Thirty” filmmaker Kathryn Bigelow’s next project will move her from the Middle East to Detroit.
Bigelow will direct a film set amid the week of deadly race-related rioting in Detroit that claimed 43 lives in 1967.
The as-yet-untitled film will be financed by Annapurna Pictures and written by Mark Boal.
Bigelow and Boal collaborated on the Mideast war movies “Zero Dark Thirty” and “The Hurt Locker,” which earned Academy Awards for best picture, best director for Bigelow and best original screenplay for Boal.
The crime drama is set to be released in 2017 to coincide with the riots’ 50th anniversary.
