Sam Jackson gets ready to play some Deathgames

Perhaps cementing his status as the A-list King of the B-movies, Sam Jackson has signed on to star in DEATHGAMES. In the film, he'll star as the orchestrator of a modern gladiator arena where he lords over the proceedings with the help of beautiful female twins who cater to his every desire. I could pretty much wrap this article up right now cause that's all you need to know. It's like SNAKES ON A PLANE. You're in based on the title, Sam Jackson's participation and the promise of hot twins.

But if you must know more, Kellan Lutz (A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET) will co-star as the young man who's been kidnapped and forced to do battle in this arena. The twist is that even as the protagonist of this story, no one will be rooting for him (kill him Sam Jackson!).

The project is being set up independently with Jonah Loop, VX supervisor on COLLATERAL and A PERFECT GETAWAY, set to make his directorial debut. The company behind this project is also working on BEVERLY HILLS CHIHUAHUA 2 so just an indication of what you can expect from this.

Filming on DEATHGAMES is scheduled to begin next month in Louisiana.

Extra Tidbit: I'm sorry I just can't root for Kellan Lutz in a movie when he's going up against Sam Jackson and naked twins.

I'll end up seeing it.

It sounds hokey as hell, but who cares? It could be fun.

HAHAHA...

I love how you guys used Sammy's reaction to Mo'Nique's Oscar acceptance speech for this article. Far as the movie goes... *sigh* Ol' Quentin needs to get him back into his movies, and not just with narrator roles like in Basterds.
