Kathryn Bigelow, the female director of The Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty, is about to collaborate again with Mark Boal, the screenwriter of The Hurt Locker, to shoot a film about the 1967 Detroit black riots. The film has no title yet, and is scheduled to start casting in March and start shooting this summer. The 1967 Detroit black riots were one of the most destructive racial riots in American history. It was caused by the police entering a bar in the black district in the early morning of July 23 to arrest black people. This law enforcement action caused dissatisfaction among black people, who came to throw stones and bricks at the police after hearing the news. Later, the police reinforcements arrived and forcibly dispersed the blacks, but it was counterproductive. More and more blacks gathered and eventually caused a large-scale riot that affected the entire city. The riot lasted for five days, resulting in 43 deaths, many buildings destroyed, and many people injured. The riots also spread to Illinois, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Maryland. The film is scheduled to be released in 2017, the 50th anniversary of the riots.
