Today, we learned exclusively from IM Global Octane that Samuel L. Jackson and Josh Duhamel have a new project in early pre-production -- and it's every bit as badass as you'd hope.
The film, Sympathy for the Devil, has all the makings of an occult, pulpy hit with Duhamel and Jackson playing humans who have to navigate a battle between heaven and hell. Boaz Yakin of Remember the Titans, is set to direct and a script has already been nailed down. All that's left to do is sell off the international theatrical and DVD rights in order to get funding and start this ball rolling.
Here's the official synopsis for Sympathy for the Devil:
Caught in the no-mans land between Saturday night sin and Sunday morning redemption, Louisiana lawman Harlan Stark (Josh Duhamel) finds that his intervention into a spectacular crime the bold attempt to assassinate a charismatic preacher --soon escalates into a cosmic confrontation between Heaven and Hell, where angels are warriorsas dangerous as demons. Harlan and his loyal partner Jesse (Samuel L. Jackson)stand at the fulcrum between vengeful good and devious evil, with neither side showing anything like mercy. Harlan must find the courage to break the cycle, and reject fanatical revenge yet he too finds himself transformed. Outrageous, violent and subversive, this new adventure in horrorfrom the director of Remember the Titans is sure to be controversial. SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL blends the seductive sensuality of Angel Heart, the genre-bending audacity of Pulp Fiction and the relentless intensity of The Omen when all hell breaks loose in New Orleans and the sacred becomes as deadly as the profane.
