Ava DuVernay, the director of the Martin Luther King historical movie "Selma", is set to again team up with the film's star David Oyelowo for a new project about Hurricane Katrina.

DuVernay and Oyelowo, who were both finalists at this year's Golden Globes, will "develop a new narrative feature film chronicling a sweeping love story and complex murder mystery during the time of Hurricane Katrina," Participant Media said Monday.

The project will mark the pair's third collaboration after "Middle of Nowhere" and "Selma", which has been nominated for this year's Academy Award for Best Picture.

You could repeat the same episode today and I think at least ten thousand residents would just plain stay. I can’t explain it...folks in Mobile or Miami...would all pack up and at least head ten miles inland.

I suspect that the ‘Black Oscars’ are already in the works. I bet we see them within the next couple of years.
