What do you get when you bring together a legendary Jedi, a two-time Star Wars director, a Top Gun star, a day of the week and Physicist Barbie? You get J.J. Abrams upcoming mystery movie, which is potentially (talks still ongoing) set to star all-time box office champ Samuel L. Jackson alongside Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous stars Glen Powell and Jenna Ortega and Sex Education star Emma Mackey. Nothing is known about the project yet, other than it’s set to film in the UK in the Spring and with that cast and that director it should be very special indeed.
Samuel L. Jackson is in negotiations for a key role in J.J. Abrams’ untitled feature at Warner Bros.
If a deal makes, Jackson would be the veteran thespian amid a bevy of hot young Hollywood talent. The call sheet already includes Glen Powell, Jenna Ortega, and Emma Mackey in what is expected to be a trifecta of leads for the project.
Abrams wrote the script for the feature, whose logline and description is being kept in the mystery box. At one point it was speculated to involve time travel, but sources say that is not the case. Abrams’ Bad Robot is producing.
