Sam Jackson, from Jedi to ‘The Last Dragon’

In an effort to honor and celebrate the 50th anniversary of Motown next year, Columbia Pictures is set to remake the 1985 cult classic ‘The Last Dragon’. Samuel L. Jackson is attached to play Sho’Nuff!, the Shogun of Harlem, a bag dude with a posse that follows him around and shouts his name after he says things like “Am I the baddest mofo lowdown around this town?”

“I’m a huge fan of the original and look forward to bringing Sho’Nuff into the 21st century,” Jackson said.

Dallas Jackson is producing and will write the script. RZA of Wu-Tang Clan will also co-produce.
