If you’re looking for a guy to take out snakes on a plane, Samuel L. Jackson is your man. Need an actor to play a henchmen who spits out religious quotes from the Bible before he kills someone? Jackson’s your guy. If you need a guy yelling at giant Gorillas or Sharks or Dinosaurs or any other crazy creature, get Samuel L. Jackson. But now you can add big bubbly blobby villains to Jackson’s repertoire. That’s right folks, Jackson will be getting a role in The Blob remake.
In a recent interview with the Toronto Sun talking about how Samuel L Jackson’s voice has now become iconic for the loud yelling with purpose. He said he’s been preparing to use that voice to play roles like he has been for years.
That’s the sound of me having fun. I’ve been preparing to use it my whole life. I’ve been running from or chasing King Kong, Godzilla, the Wolfman, whatever, since I was a kid. We’d go home and pretend to do all that stuff. So I’m doing Kong for the same reason I’ll probably be doing The Blob. I just got a call the other day (where the producers) said they finally got their money from China to do Blob.”
Can someone just make a one man special with Jackson yelling stuff for an hour and a half? That would sell out immediately.
