Samuel L. Jackson is officially in EVERY movie that comes out, and Hollywood is officially remaking everything ever made. The Hollywood Reporter is telling us that Mr. Jackson himself is signed on to play Sho'nuff the Shogun of Harlem from 1985's The Last Dragon. Honestly I want to hate this idea, but the original was the same kind of campy entertaining fun that Jackson brings to every performance and after seeing him play The Octopus in The Spirit I dont think this will be too over the top. There seems to be a resurgence in the 80's style martial arts movie, what with The Karate Kid getting redone, I just hope whatever comes of this is as entertaining as the source material as the martial arts movie is my #1 seed for guilty pleasure genres.
And just for your viewing pleasure here is the trailer for the original film.
