 Samuel L. Jackson: Stars in 'Last Dragon' remake
Samuel L. Jackson is coming up to mesmerize his audiences with his acting acumen.
Having portrayed the character of a dirty cop in the film titled "Lakeview Terrace," Jackson stars as a bad guy again in a remake of 1985 cult classic "The Last Dragon" which was made by Motown Records founder Berry Gordy.
Sources have thrown more light on the news of Samuel L. Jackson. According to them, he is going to play Sho'Nuff, the Shogun of Harlem. Originally this role was played in the by the late Julius Carry, whose spiel included asking ego-driven questions. Every time his gang of thugs answered, "Sho'Nuff!"
The latest plot of Columbia Pictures also will follow the same lines of the original, thereby based the story of a young martial arts student Leroy Green in his quest through the streets of New York. He did so for achieving the highest level of martial arts accomplishment, known as the Last Dragon. Those who achieve the high ranking own the Glow, thereby being declared as the greatest fighter alive.
TriStar Pictures released the original, which also starred Taimak and then-Prince protegee Vanity, in March 1985. In fact it has invited lukewarm reviews. Roger Ebert said it was a "great near-miss."
"Last Dragon" managed to do well at the box office and grabbed profit of nearly $26 million.
"I'm a huge fan of the original and look forward to bringing Sho'Nuff into the 21st century," added Samuel L. Jackson, who returns to the theaters soon alongside the late Bernie Mac in "Soul Men." |
