Caffeinated Clint
Starring in a new 1930s set sports drama
Powerhouse duo Denzel Washington and Forest Whitaker set to team on “The Great Debaters”, a new fact-based drama for producer Oprah Winfrey (!).
According to Variety, Washington – who has long considered directing the pic too, and still may – will play a volatile coach who molds a group of students from a small college in East Texas into an elite debate team that challenges Harvard’s championship squad in the 1930s.
Whitaker will play the father of one of the students, who finds himself competing with the debate coach for the loyalties of his son.
Expect Exclusive on-set coverage and interviews with both actors on a certain daytime talk show in the future.
