Danny Glover returns to 'Master Harold'

Danny Glover is to star in a movie version of anti-apartheid play Master Harold... and the Boys.

The actor will play team room employee Sam, the older co-worker of Willie, whom he played on stage in 1982.

The film will be directed by Lonny Price, who played Master Harold in the original Athol Fugard play.

Love Actually star Thomas Sangster will take the lead role, reports Variety.

Shooting will begin in Durban, South Africa in July.

Glover's recent film Blindness opened the Cannes Film Festival on Wednesday.
