    As per Deadline, Colman Domingo teased fans about his upcoming hostage thriller Dead Man’s Wire, saying:

    “This guy was just in dire straits, holding people hostage and speaking to a radio announcer. That’s the only person he felt like he could communicate with. He’d listened to him every day and I sort of guide him not to kill people.

    The official synopsis of the movie reads:

    “In 1977, a former real estate developer takes his mortgage banker hostage after feeling wronged by a corrupt system.”

    Following his statements on Dead Man’s Wire, Domingo shared his feelings on Spielberg’s upcoming science-fiction piece which still is a mystery to the fans. He reportedly said:

    “I can’t tell you anything.”

    This he replied when asked about the movie’s title. He further added:

    “I will tell you this. I finished reading the script and I bawled. I thought it was one of the most beautiful scripts about our humanity. I think it was just the most beautiful film about our humanity, and I literally cried because Steven Spielberg believes in the possibility of the human beings we could be. That’s what I’ll tell you.”
