Samuel L. Jackson, Luke Wilson and Leslie Bibb are going on a joyride in Louisiana in MEETING EVIL, noir thriller based on the 1992 John Berger novel of the same name. Looks like Sam L. will once again be playing a bad motherf*cker…
Here’s the book’s synopsis: John Felton meets evil late one Monday morning when the doorbell rings. Standing on the front porch is a stranger. He wears expensive running shoes and a baseball cap and calls himself Richie. He tells John his car has stalled and asks for help. An altercation at the gas station leads to a shocking crime as violence begets violence. At the end of this harrowing day, John returns home to find Richie ensconced in his living room, chatting up his wife. The evil has somehow seeped into his life. Thus begins the transformation of an unremarkable husband and father of two into a desperate man willing to go to any length to protect his family from the darkness that threatens them.
Sounds like a million other movies we’ve seen where an ominous stranger suddenly inserts themselves into someone’s life, but it’s a tried and true thriller sub-genre if there ever was one..
Chris Fisher (S. DARKO) will direct the flick, which begins shooting on January 8, 2011 in New Orleans.
Leslie Bibb
