Guerrilla Elba

Hey, did you hear the one about how Idris Elba is going to be on Showtime?

No? Well here it goes.

Idris Elba is going to be on Showtime.

The Golden Globe winner is going to headline a new John Ridley limited series titled Guerrilla that will be told in six episodes and set around the Black Power movement of 1970s Britain. Elba also will serve as an executive producer on the project, which will center on a couple that makes the leap from activism to radicalism.

The line is so fine sometimes.
