Blood Diamond:
The action drama Blood Diamond, directed by Edward Zwick (The Last Samurai, Courage Under Fire) and starring Leonardo DiCaprio (The Aviator, Titanic), Jennifer Connelly (Hulk, A Beautiful Mind) and Djimon Hounsou (The Island, Constantine) has commenced production in South Africa and Mozambique.

Set against the backdrop of civil war and chaos in 1990s Sierra Leone, Blood Diamond is the story of Danny Archer (DiCaprio),
a South African mercenary, and Solomon Vandy (Hounsou),
a Mende fisherman. Both men are African, but their histories as different as any can be, until their fates become joined in a common quest to recover a rare pink diamond that can transform their lives. While in prison for smuggling, Archer learns that Solomon – who was taken from his family and forced to work in the diamond fields – has found and hidden the extraordinary rough stone. With the help of Maddy Bowen (Connelly),
an American journalist whose idealism is tempered by a deepening connection with Archer, the two men embark on a trek through rebel territory, a journey that could save Solomon’s family and give Archer the second chance he thought he would never have.  Warner Bros. Pictures.
