Two of Tarantino’s favourites are set to share the screen, as Uma Thurman and Samuel L Jackson join forces for a new project.
Almost thirty years since appearing together in Quentin’s Tarantino’s trailblazing Pulp Fiction, Uma Thurman and Samuel L Jackson are to share the screen once more in The Kill Room. Whilst the pair never shared any scenes in Pulp Fiction, the film proved to be crucial to the upward trajectory of their careers, rocketing both actors to a level they hadn’t experienced before and securing them a string of high profile roles.
In The Kill Room, ‘the story follows a hitman, his boss (Jackson), an art dealer (Thurman), and a money-laundering scheme that accidentally turns the assassin into an overnight avant-garde sensation, one that forces her to play the art world against the underworld.’
The film will be directed by Friendsgiving's Nicol Paone and could hit cinemas by next year. Nobody has yet been cast in the main hitman role, but there’s sure to be a petition for John Travolta out there somewhere if you look hard enough.
We’re hoping that in this project, we get to see Jackson and Thurman share some scenes, as that’s something we never saw in Pulp Fiction and only briefly glimpsed in Kill Bill. We’ll bring you more on this one, including further casting as we hear it.
