In response to  the posting referred to,  I  have  heard about  a

          number  of  rumors,  research,  columns, speculation, etc.  of  a

          Hollywood biopic on Oscar Micheaux over the last  few years. (The

          irony  of Hollywood filming the Micheaux story would certainly be

          overwhelming.)  However,  I  have  not  heard  of  anything  more

          concrete,  certainly  not  something  actually  filmed,  although

          perhaps someone who follows Variety and  the  trades  might  know

          more. A documentary about Micheaux and early race films, entitled

          MIDNIGHT RAMBLE, was recently completed and is  set  to  air over

          PBS's  American  Experience  anthology,  sometime  this  year   I

          believe.
