Kimberly and Denzel Washington have signed on to appear in another film together. This one is called "The Great Debaters" and chronicles the life and times of an East Texas debate team in the 1930s. Denzel plays the stern yet fair coach of the debate team while Kimberly plays the wary yet loving mother of one of the students. Forrest Whitaker is also in it! Isn't he one of our national treasures? I thought I heard that once.
Anyway, Denzel is pulling double duty and both starring in and directing the film. And you'll never guess who is producing it. That's right, Oprah! I'd be more impressed if I didn't know what producers do. When I was a kid I thought producer was just another word for director, instead of just being another word for "person that throws tons of money around."
The film is set to be released in January. More as it develops.
