Once in a blue moon, a passion project comes together with all the right elements and you know it’s going to blow people’s minds. Havana Heat is that project. I don’t know who called in what favors to make this a reality, but Joey Lawrence and Wesley Snipes are starring in the indie actioner for director Dean Hamilton, who’s best known for his work on Blonde and Blonder.

"Havana Heat" centers on a Homeland Security agent based at Guantanomo who’s murdered while undercover in Havana, where betrayal and intrigue take place against a backdrop of crumbling colonial architecture and vintage American cars.

Betrayal and intrigue and Lawrence and Snipes. That’s either a film I can’t wait to see or a law firm I don’t want to be represented by. Shooting starts in November at an undisclosed location, but we’ve been assured all of the permits are in order. The red tape regarding Snipes in public places is ridiculous. (Variety)
