We hope to see Samuel L. Jackson and his Star Wars co-star Hayden Christensen in Poker Night. Samuel L. Jackson talked to Moviehole and revealed that the pic is ‘’Dead in the Water’’.
However, he might be re-teaming with Christensen for something else. Jackson will play the lead role in Doug Liman directed Jumper and says he might be joined by Christensen.
Based on the Steven Gould novel of the same name, it follows a kid from a broken home who discovers that he has the ability to teleport. In his quest for the man he believes is responsible for the death of his mother, the kid draws the attention of the National Security Agency and another youth with the same abilities. Jackson will play the NSA agent tracking the jumper, and may have ulterior motives for finding him.
Poker Night, which was set to be directed by Star Wars master of swords Nick Gillard, was to star Christensen as a young rookie detective who becomes the pawn in a serial killer’s vicious game, with Jackson playing his boss.
