The last we heard of Canadian director Clement Virgo was back in April when we alerted you that he was working on, along with pop singer Sting's wife Trudie Styler, a remake of 1972 Jamaican crime drama classic, The Harder They Come. Now comes word he's also developing a film adaptation for author Lawrence Hill’s bestseller, The Book of Negroes.

Everything old is new again; and here's another case in point. Back in the 1960 and 1970's there maybe was no more popular a writer than Jacqueline Susann, and her book Valley of the Dolls, about the self destructive lives of three women working in show business; not only was it the biggest selling book of its time, but it was also one of the biggest hit movies of 1967.

I know a lot of you are fans of the series, if comments in previous posts are any indication; and I'm sure it'll gain even more fans with recent casting news of the hit HBO show (black Brits Lucian Msamati and Nonso Anozie), Game Of Thrones, and all the debate that accompanied those posts about black British versus black American actors.
