Samuel L. Jackson Faces the Unthinkable

You know the question: If terrorists have successfully sneaked a bomb into the United States, and one man knows where it is but he’s not talking, how far will you go to break him? I.e. it’s the “What if the TV show ‘24′ was real” question. That’s the dilemma facing Samuel L. Jackson, who has signed on to star in the new terrorist thriller “Unthinkable” by Senator Entertainment.

The Hollywood Reporter has the plot:

In the story, penned by Peter Woodward with revisions by Orin Moverman, a major threat is posed to the U.S. when the locations of three nuclear devices are shrouded in secrecy by a single terrorist. With only two days before they are deployed, a black-ops interrogator (Jackson) and a female FBI agent have to decide how far they will go to find the weapons.

The film, set for an early September start date, will be directed by Aussie Gregor Jordon (”Ned Kelly”).

“Snakes on a plane or terrorists with nukes. What’s the diff?”
