Samuel L. Jackson Joins "The Blob" Remake

[LevelUp]

Fresh from his lisp-heavy performance in Kingsman: The Secret Service, Samuel L. Jackson is now to don a lab coat in Simon West's upcoming remake of 1958 sci-fi classic The Blob.

The thriller, which is set to shoot this fall, will see Jackson play a biochemistry professor attempting to thwart the other-worldly predator discovered deep within the earth.

Goldcrest Films, which is representing global sales and distribution, launched the film to distributors at the EFM earlier in the year and already secured deals in Germany, Italy, China, Latin America, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, India, Middle East and South Africa.

Richard Saperstein and Brian Witten will produce along with Jack Harris, the 96-year-old producer of the original 1958 film, Judith Parker Harris, and Taewon Chung.

More casting announcements are set to follow shortly.

Samuel L is like the Pac of the movie industry. Every time you check the box office he is in a movie. Even when he passes he'll still have movies featuring him.

I think I read that his movies have grossed to most of all time. I am guessing that Star Wars' and Avengers' series kinda gave that figure a lil boost.
