Variety reports that Senator Entertainment has greenlit Samuel L. Jackson thriller Unthinkable with Gregor Jordan (The Informers) attached to direct.

The story centers on a major threat to the United States 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 and a female FBI agent have to decide how far they will go to find them.

Filming starts on September 2 in Michigan.

[Odin's Lapdog]

This sounds uber lame...

 

[Gotham]

I can't see this becoming more than a cheesy thiller. But I've been wrong before.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Female FBI Agent = Hot Actress

Brandon Routh, Gil Bellows, Martin Donovan and Carrie-Anne Moss will star in Unthinkable.

They will join Samuel L. Jackson and Michael Sheen in the suspense thriller produced, financed and distributed by Senator U.S.

Routh and Bellows play members of an FBI anti-terrorism team run by Agent Brody (Moss). With the help of a black-ops agent (Jackson), they're assigned by an FBI director (Donovan) to interrogate an American Muslim man (Sheen) claiming to have nuclear bombs planted in three U.S. cities.

The Gregor Jordan-directed film will start principal photography on October 20 in Los Angeles.

[Two-Face]

Sounds like this movie is gonna suck....

 

[Eggyman]

I thought it was the sequel to Unbreakable at first

 

[stargazer]

And Brandon Routh is in it?! YAY! I can't wait! I hope it's good.

Which, honestly, I would have preferred...

 

[Nightmare]

Woah, Martin Sheen!!

 

[dude stannis]

Superman, Trinity and Jules Winnifield together in one film!

 

[Nightmare]

I can see it now! Routh will turn on someone at the end!

Quote:
Samuel L. Jackson’s upcoming thriller “Unthinkable” just rounded out its casting list, and it’s a decidedly odd mix of talent. Brandon Routh, Gil Bellows, Martin Donovan, and Carrie-Anne Moss are the four lucky actors who will all play FBI Agents shouted at by Jackson’s black-ops agent. They’re all given the unfortunate task of interrogating an American Muslim man, played by Michael Sheen, who claims to have planted nuclear bombs in three U.S. cities.

While it’s an odd roster, it’s certainly packed with geek cred. Can Superman, Trinity, and Mace Windu win against an Underworld werewolf? And would you rather see that movie than one of your deepest nightly news fears?

I wonder where in Michigan they'll be shooting?!

I'd love to be an extra.

Ten Pics of Routh in Unthinkable

 

[JLBats]

It seems like people are now hiring Routh because he's a nice guy who got ****ed over by the people doing the Superman films. I'm glad. He seems too GOOD somehow to just fall into oblivion now.

 

[Wesley Dodds]

This movie sounds too boring for words... I bet it ends up lookin and feelin like SWAT.
I agree about Routh, tho.

Yes , Definately . I hope he has a decent career outside Superman .

 

[Double Down]

Two pics from the set:

Routh isn't out as Superman.

I can see it now! Routh will turn on someone at the end!

That would not surprise me at all, based on the way casting works in Hollywood.

 

[tzarinna]

Damn, Routh is fine as **** in those pictures. :meow:

 

[AlteredEgo]

ha, judging from the title of the thread i thought this was going to be about Samuel L. Jackson turning down a movie.
