Casting in place for Glover's Haiti film By Marilyn Beck and Stacy Jenel Smith

U-Entertainment Don Cheadle, Mos Def and Angela Bassett are among the A-listers Danny Glover has attached to his upcoming feature on Haitian revolutionary Toussaint L'Ouverture.

"I've got a powerful cast," says Glover, who will direct the labor of love he's been trying to get done for some 20 years.

"We also have Wesley Snipes, Roger Guenvere Smith, plus a number of other African and Haitian actors."

Glover, who's currently shooting the big-screen "Dreamgirls" opposite Beyonce Knowles, Jamie Foxx and Eddie Murphy, also has "The Adventures of Brer Rabbit" DVD just hitting stores from Universal Studios Home Entertainment.

The actor says the classic children's tales are so timeless because "they're parables that impart human values and powerful social and political messages through animals." Nick Cannon, D.L. Hughley, Wayne Brady and Wanda Sykes are the voices of Brer Rabbit, Brer Fox, Brer Wolf and Sister Moon, respectively.
