The hardest working man in show business is back in the saddle, ready to fight the terrorists in Unthinkable. We get wind of this project thanks to the professionals at Variety:
Senator Entertainment has greenlit Samuel L. Jackson thriller “Unthinkable” with Gregor Jordan (“The Informers”) attached to direct with production starting Sept. 2 in Michigan.
Story centers on a major threat to the United States when the locations of three nuclear devices are shrouded in secrecy by a single terrorist. With only two days before they are deployed, a black-ops interrogator and a female FBI agent have to decide how far they will go to find them.
This type of film seldom gets me excited. The cop drama/suspense film is one that I will often skip; I just don’t get excited watching people “investigating”. I know they are going to win and the tedious nature of investigation is something that doesn’t turn my crank. There are exceptions to every rule however, and on occasion a cop film will win me over.
What does excite me however, is Samuel L. Jackson in the lead role. This man is amassing a mountain of films in his lifetime; and I do not foresee him quitting anytime soon. Sam is going to die on screen, and I would see it appropriate for them to put that take in the movie. If Jackson dies on screen, I am pretty sure Odin would accept him into Valhalla.
I love Jackson and Washington and DeNiro and Pacino. It won’t do to hate any popular culture figure, guys, they are only there for a season and their time, once over, is likely to pass to another, perhaps more annoying media whore.
you guys that are bad mouthing SLJ are just jealous faggots. if you dont like seeing his face in movies then turn the fuckin things off, he is an incredibly talented actor who makes more money in one movie than all of you put together in 5 life times.
Yeah I can’t stand Crowe ether.
Yeah I knew about the Nick Fury scene before I saw it and groaned when I saw it was SLJ. I hate SLJ and fucking Denzel (and just so you don’t think that’s racist I hate Russel Crowe just as much if not more).
I can’t believe Crowe won a damn oscar for sitting on a horse and yelling.
O-VER-RA-TED *clap* *clap* *clapclapclap*!!!
Yeah 46and2 I totally agree.
Every film he’s in he ruins.
I see him as a whore not a character.
Take a fricken vaction bro were all sick of you!
Bad enough that he’s Nick Fury now. I’m so sick of this guy.
“I HAVE HAD IT WITH THESE MUTHAFUCKIN’ TERRORISTS IN THESE MUTHAFUCKIN’ UNITED STATES!!!
hahahaha!
sorry guys, couldn’t resist!
What? How can anyone who watches a lot of movies NOT be sick of him? He’s such a common face that it’s impossible to see the characters through the SLJ anymore. True about many actors. Hollywood, the worst thing about you is that I’m tired of you putting the same old overpaid faces in every movie. Anybody with me?
I agree with Doug this guy is one of my favorite actors and he does some bad films but hey he just loves to act and have fun not matter what.
“No, I can’t stop yelling, ’cause that’s how I talk! Haven’t you seen my movies? “Juice” That was a good one! “Deep Blue Sea” They ate me! A motherfucking shark ate me!”
a pre-cursor to that Nick Fury film they are secretly filming mayhap?!?
