Seeing Stars in 'The Bay' of Samana

What have Steven Spielberg, Jack Nicholson, Angelina Jolie and Al Pacino got in common? And what does it have to do with the Dominican Republic?...

Well the latest news is that no sooner will the whale-watching season be coming to an end in the Bahia de Samana...but it seems there will be 'Pigs' in the Bay...

Steven Spielberg has already used the DR as the backdrop to the original 'Jurassic Park' movie (where better than the home of the finest amber in the world?)...now he has gathered the aforementioned bevy of premier actors to make his next film... about the events that led to the invasion of Cuba by a CIA backed force during JFK's presiency that threatened to bring the World to the brink of War between the super powers.

The event that became known as 'The Bay of Pigs'...now lends its name to Spielberg's project and it is expected that filming will start in March in Los Haitises, and on the Samana coast.
