Earlier this month, Forest Whitaker‘s long-delayed film ‘Hurricane Season’ was released straight-to-DVD without any fanfare.
Based on a true story and set a year after Hurricane Katrina, Al Collins (Whitaker), a high school basketball coach in Louisiana, assembles a team of players who previously attended different schools before the disaster and leads them to the state championships.
The film was expected to be released in theaters in 2008 but went through several bumps before being dumped to home video.
While doing interviews for his next film, ‘Our Family Wedding,’ which will hit theaters on March 12, the Academy Award-winning actor shared his thoughts with Kara Warner of Blackfilm.com about the handling of ‘Hurricane Season.
