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."
