Samuel L. Jackson Set to Star in THE SAMARITAN
Samuel L. Jackson has been cast as the lead character in a new film called The Samaritan, which aslo co-stars Luke Kirby (Shattered Glass) and Ruth Negga (Color Me Kubrick). The film will be directed by David Weaver, and is described as a neo-noir thriller.
In the story "Jackson plays Foley, a grifter trying to escape from his past having spent 20 years in prison. But he gets ensnared in the plans of a young protege and it becomes all too clear to Foley that some wrongs can never be made right."
Jackson is always fun to watch in the movies he makes, regardless of how bad the actual movie is. The idea behind this film doesn't seem like anything new.
The movie starts shooting in Toronto this coming Sunday. When Jackson is done with it he'll jump back into the shoes of Nick Fury for Joss Whedon's The Avengers.
