Lethal Weapon co-star and all-around-revered-actor Danny Glover has joined the board of directors at Colourblind Entertainment, a United Arab Emirates-based studio developing video games for several world regions. The company is working on a game called Sharq Warriors.

Sharq Warriors' protagonist is an Arab man named Sami, who will fight to save his country and his sister. "Many existing games feature Western soldiers shooting Arabs, Afghans and other ethnic 'enemies'," said fellow board member Riz Khan. "We're introducing different types of heroes and 'Sami' is the first of them but he fights corruption, not people of another race."

This is an admirable endeavor, and we're looking forward to seeing how it turns out. The game is primarily intended for the Middle-eastern market but a demo is on its way to the internet. Glover also heads up the activist film studio Louverture Films, which will be working with Colourblind to expand the Sami franchise into other media.
