Director Spike Lee and author James McBride collaborate to release "Miracle At St. Anna," the visual interpretation of McBride's novel of the same name. The film, which is set to be released this upcoming September, tells the story of four 92nd Infantry Buffalo Soldiers who find themselves trapped in a small Tuscan village during World War II. Learn more about the story by visiting the Miracle at St. Anna pages on Wikipedia.com and IMDB.
I must admit that I am looking forward to seeing this one. The cast, in a word, is beautiful. Spikes has continually set a precedent for casting talented actors flying just below "Big Hollywood's" radar and this project is no exception. If you are a fan of Black film you will be treated to some of your favorites - Derek Luke, Michael Early, and Kerri Washington among them. Check out the trailer below!
