Posted 5/8/09 12:35 pm EST by in News


Samuel L. JacksonI suppose it was inevitable. Pirates are big news these days, and it has nothing to do with peg-legs, eyepatches, parrots or bottles of rum. Now Variety has revealed that Samuel L. Jackson's Uppity Films will collaborate with Andras Hamori's H20 Motion Pictures on real-life pirate negotiator's trials and tribulations.

The as-yet-untitled film will focus on Andrew Mwangura, a freelance journalist/negotiator whose Seafarers' Assistance Programme works to peacefully resolve incidences of piracy - where else? - off the coast of Africa. The announcement also reveals that Jackson is set to star as Mwangura. Read More...

'Harold and Kumar'When "Harold & Kumar" star Kal Penn traded in his bong for a ranking post in the Barack Obama administration recently, most fans naturally concluded that the stoner comedy franchise conceived by Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg had officially gone up in smoke. Penn may or may not be out, but that didn't stop Warner Bros from announcing today that "A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas" will hit theaters on November 5, 2010.
