Jay Z and his work with The Weinstein Company is certainly underway. In addition to the groundbreaking Kalief Browder docuseries that’s been airing the past few weeks, it looks like Hov and his new partners at The Weinstein Company are prepping their next biggest project surrounding the tragic death of Trayvon Martin.

According to Variety, Jay and The Weinstein Company won a strenuous bidding war over two different books: “Suspicion Nation: The Inside Story of the Trayvon Martin Injustice and Why We Continue to Repeat It” and “Rest in Power: The Enduring Life of Trayvon Martin.”

Variety reports:

“Suspicion Nation” is by Lisa Bloom and recounts her experience covering the trial for NBC. She looks at the mistakes made by prosecutors that caused them to lose what she describes as a “winnable case.” “Rest in Power” is by Martin’s parents, Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin. It tells a more personal story, looking at Martin’s childhood and the aftermath of his death.

By earning the rights to these books, the plan is to make a 6-part docuseries (similar to the Kalief Browder series), as well as a feature narrative film.

While The Weinstein Company confirmed the deal, there’s no comments or further details provided at this time. We’re excited for this one.
