Jackson dish on his role in the 'S.H.I.E.L.D.' TV series inside!

Jacob Hall — Sun, 19 Aug 2012 02:46:20 +0000

As much as the thought of an American remake of Chan-wook Park's 'Oldboy' makes our skin crawl, we can't help but remain interested in this project. Sure, the very concept sounds like a train wreck on paper, but when you put a virtuoso like Spike Lee in the director's seat and actors like Josh Brolin, Sharlto Copley and Elizabeth Olsen in front of the camera, you've gone and got our attention. The lastest news has only further piqued our interest: Samuel L. Jackson has joined the cast.

That Other Samuel L. Jackson Movie Opening This Weekend

Mike Sampson — Wed, 02 May 2012 14:35:11 +0000

In a recent profile for the New York Times Magazine, Samuel L. Jackson was asked about his many movies and the frequent proclamations that he is both the busiest actor on the planet and the highest-grossing actor in history (the latter of which is backed up by the Guinness Book of World Records). In response, Jackson responded, "I get paid all day, every day."

That seems to be the only explanation Jackson has for taking such varied film roles from the wildly successful to the WTF. Such is the case this very weekend when Jackson stars in two films hitting theaters. One - 'The Avengers' - a film you can't stop hearing about and another - 'Meeting Evil' - a film you've probably never heard of.

While 'The Avengers' opens this weekend in over 4,000 theaters, Jackson's other film, 'Meeting Evil' will open in just one.

'The Avengers' has a release date of May 4 - close to a month away - so prepare to be bombarded with more images, product-placements, commercials and toys than ever before.
