When it comes to acting, Danny Glover is too old for this shit. So he's moving into directing. Production Weekly says he's working on helming his first feature film, a movie called Toussaint. It stars Wesley Snipes, Don Cheadle, and Angela Basset. One of these names is not like the others…

Wesley Snipes doesn't seem to fit in with that crowd, but remember before doing movies like Blade he was a noted dramatic actor. Then he got successful, did action movies, and turned into an impossible to work with lunatic.

Toussaint is a period film set during a successful slave rebellion in Haiti which took place between 1791 and 1804. Written by Joslyn Barnes and Vijay Balakrishnan, the film will focus on the revolution's hero Toussiant L'Ouverture. After kicking out the French, Spanish, and British troops Toussiant was elected president for life shortly before being captured and killed by the French. Whoops.
