Poker Nights Dead, Jumper gains Jedi

SamuelLJackson.jpgConfusing title indeed. It seems that one of Samuel L. Jackson's upcoming movies Poker Night is dead and plans for Hayden Christensen to appear in that film alongside Jackson have fallen through. However the good news for the pair is that they will team up together in Jumper, the Doug Liman directed film from the novel about teleporting kids.

They join Jamie Bell making this start to look like a very strong cast and giving the film great potential, the idea of the novel sounds superb and something I might even considering dropping on my to read list.

The story comes from Digital Spy, but for the Poker Night news I am afraid I'll have to just say I read it somewhere yesterday and forgot, so apologies to whoever that was for not referencing them correctly!

Is this starting to raise interest with you, and do you think Christensen is actually a good actor?

But I know Icon (Mel Gibson's company) picked up this project? So that's gone kaput too?

Yes, I do believe that Hayden is a very good actor. I saw him live at the Garrick Theater on Lonergan's play "This Is Our Youth", and this was even before Attack of the Clones was released that year. Then I was moved by his wonderful performance in "Life as a House" and "Shattered Glass".

You dont seem convinced with his acting Rich? ;P

I think Hayden holds many surprises behind the sleeve concerning his acting capabilities.

POker nights dead? For a split second I thought the worst...

Never Lee, our poker nights are alive and well!

Phewwww.....

You only think I guessed wrong! That's what's so funny! I switched glasses when your back was turned! Ha ha! You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia, but only slightly less well-known is this: never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
