Colman Domingo is set to portray the legendary singer, jazz pianist, and actor Nat King Cole in the upcoming biopic ‘Unforgettable’ for Lionsgate.
The film will explore Cole’s journey as both a musician and revolutionary, charting his rise amid racial injustice, Hollywood sabotage, and the immense pressures of building a legacy that helped pave the way for future Black artists.
‘Unforgettable’ is co-written by Vernon Scott and Domingo, who will also produce and direct the feature. Producers include Cassian Elwes, Charles D. King, William Rosenfeld, Poppy Hanks, Jimmy Edwards, Veronica Radaelli, and Fred Berger.
Filming is expected to begin later this year, with a wide PG-13 theatrical release planned.
