Samuel L. Jackson vs. the 'Dragon'


October 30, 2008 Having most recently played a dirty cop in "Lakeview Terrace," Jackson is set to star as a bad guy again in Columbia Pictures' remake of Berry Gordy's 1985 cult classic "The Last Dragon." Penning the screenplay as well as producing is Dallas Jackson, who heads up the urban family label DJ Classicz with Davis. The project, announced by Columbia presidents Doug Belgrad and Matt Tolmach, will take a new look at "Last Dragon" coinciding with the 50th anniversary of Motown next year.
