ATLANTA — DreamWorks Studios plans to tell the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s story on the big screen in a film to be co-produced by Steven Spielberg, the studio announced Tuesday.

But two of King’s children say the film deal was brokered without their blessing.

Dexter King, one of the late civil rights leader’s sons, said he hoped the movie would “be the definitive film” on his father’s legacy. Two other King siblings — Bernice King and Martin Luther King III — said the deal was brokered by Dexter without their input. They vowed to take immediate legal action. The Associated Press
