Danny Glover to Star in "Master Harold" Movie

Variety reports that Danny Glover will return to role of Sam in an upcoming film adaptation of "Master Harold"…and the boys. Directed by Broadway veteran and Tony Award nominee Lonny Price, the movie is set to begin production on July 10 in Durban, South Africa.

This marks the third time Glover and Price have collaborated on "Master Harold". They played opposite each other in the show's Broadway premiere in 1983 and were reunited when Price directed Glover as Sam in the 2003 Broadway revival.

"Master Harold" tells the story of Hally, a young rich kid who befriends Sam and Willie, two African servants who work at his home. The three bond over ballroom dancing and kite flying before Hally's drunken father returns from a hospital visit, and Hally's unleashes his repressed anger on Sam and Willie.

The title role will be played by Thomas Sangster, who appeared onscreen in the 2003 romantic comedy Love Actually.
