Rodney G. King, the motorist whose videotaped beating by Los Angeles police officers shocked the nation, has sold an option to a film company to make a movie about the incident, his attorney said Monday.
King, 26, was clubbed after a March 3 traffic stop in suburban Lake View Terrace. Amateur cameraman George Holliday recorded the beating from his apartment balcony and sold it to a television station. Attorney Steven Lerman said his client sold an option to a Los Angeles-based production company, but refused to name the firm or terms of the deal.
