Glover
Danny Glover will reprise his stage role in a bigscreen adaptation of Athol Fugard's apartheid-era play "Master Harold... and the Boys."
Pic will be helmed by Lonny Price, who directed Glover in the recent Broadway revival and played opposite him in the stage production 20 years ago.
The title role will be played by Thomas Sangster, the "Love Actually" star who'll play the title role in the Steven Spielberg-directed "Tintin."
The U.K./South Africa co-production will begin production on July 10 in Durban, South Africa.
London-based Focus Films put the film together, with Focus' David Pupkewitz and Malcolm Kohll producing along with Nelle Nugent. Laurette Marais co-produces.
Morris Ruskin, who'll be one of the exec producers, is handling worldwide sales at Cannes through his Shoreline Entertainment.
