Palmer will report to IM Global founder and CEO Stuart Ford and president of production Matt Jackson and his first project is 'Southside With You', which was inspired by the first 1989 date of lawyer Michelle Robinson and the young associate named Barack Obama, Deadline.com reported.
The story follows the couple on a date that took them from the Art Institute of Chicago to a screening of Spike Lee's 'Do the Right Thing' to the site of their first kiss outside of an ice cream parlor.
Tika Sumpter from 'Get on Up' will star as Michelle Obama and casting is underway for the role of the future President who was then a junior law firm summer associate.
The 'Jumping the Broom' producer will also oversee development on 'The Short and Tragic Life of Robert Peace', based on the novel by Jeff Hobbs which Antoine Fuqua and his writing partner Jamal Joseph are adapting for the screen, with Fuqua Films producing the project.
