Ted Melfi is directing the movie which is based on the Hidden Figures non-fiction book by Margot Lee Shetterly. The film will focus on the racist and sexist hurdles the women had to endure as they worked in a segregated workspace at NASA. Pharrell Williams is composing original music for the film which has a January 2017 release date.
