Tina Fey Will Release ‘Taliban Shuffle’ in March

What is “Taliban Shuffle” you ask? It’s Greek-American actress, writer, and producer Tina Fey’s new comedy based on the US’ involvement in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Now, many audience members might not think that US wartime actions and comedy mix, butĀ if anyone can pull this off, it’s Tina Fey.

“Taliban Shuffle” is based on Kim Barker’s memoir, “The Taliban Shuffle: Strange Days in Afghanistan and Pakistan”, which follows the reporter’s experience reporting from Pakistan and Afghanistan over the course of 5 years of US military actions there.

While Barker was working as a reporter for The Chicago Tribune, she managed to find the absurdity and dark humor of the “forgotten war”, which she details in her book, along with her account of how she grew to love the places she visited and got to witness some humanity amidst the wartime conditions.

Tina FeyĀ will star in the film as BarkerĀ alongsideĀ Margot Robbie and MartinĀ Freeman. The script was written by Robert Carlock, who has collaborated with Fey in the past, and the movie will be directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa (“Crazy Stupid Love”).

Keep an eye on your theaters in March for the release of “Taliban Shuffle”!
