NEW ORLEANS – “Black and White,” a movie shot in New Orleans and stars Kevin Costner and Octavia Spencer, will open in a limited engagement on Dec. 3, to qualify for awards consideration, according to Austin Siegemund-Broka with The Hollywood Reporter.
The drama will run for one week in December and then be released again in January 2015.

Additional cast members include Anthony Mackie, “Breaking Bad's” Bill Burr, “Community's” Gillian Jacobs and “Zero Dark Thirty's” Jennifer Ehle.
