Irwin Winkler's full length film “Home of the Braves”, starring the American rapper “50 cent” and the “Pulp Fiction” actor Samuel L. Jackson is being filmed in the studios of the southern Moroccan city Ouarzazate.
Winkler, who already directed “Life as a House” and produced the saga “Rocky”, deals in his new film with a wartime drama set against the backdrop of the war in Iraq. The US intervention in Iraq has become more and more a reflection subject for many filmmakers and authors.
Written by first-time screenwriter Mark Friedman, the story will picture three soldiers who return home from the Middle East and face difficult readjustment.
Samuel L. Jackson has been cast as a middle-aged doctor who is surprised to discover that his tour of duty at home is even more daunting than the one he has just finished in the Middle East.
The film's shooting started in Morocco this month with a budget of USD 12 million.
