The story of pioneering Hip-Hop group Run-DMC will come to the big screen via Cheo Hodari Coker

“The Run-DMC story is a very inspirational tale about some young men from New York's black community in the early '80s and their friends and colleagues,” Adler said. “They're all deeply committed to this new Hip-Hop culture at a time when the rest of the music world denies that rap is even music. They refuse to compromise and, sure enough, their integrity pays off and they manage to turn the world around. In its own way, the Run-DMC story is like the Obama story 25 years later.”
