We interrupt the flurry of moving day to report that according to Variety, Samuel L. Jackson will produce and star in a movie based on the life of the pirate negotiator Andrew Mwangura, a journalist and ex-marine engineer who runs the Seafarers' Assistance Programme, a nonprofit group that offers humanitarian aid to all seafarers. Mwangura was largely responsible for brokering the $3.4 million ransom for the Ukrainian ship MV Faina which contained Russian tanks allegedly bound for South Sudan.
Update: Andrew Mwangura comments on Jackson's film here.
