Samuel L. Jackson will star in Same Kind of Different as Me, an adaptation of a nonfiction bestseller that has been adapted by screenwriters Roderick and Bruce Taylor (The Brave One).

Jackson will play Denver Moore, an ex-con drifter who develops an unlikely friendship with a wealthy Dallas art dealer named Ron Hall.

The book was written by Hall. Ralph Winter will produce through his 1019 Entertainment banner, with Veralux's Mark Clayman and Jennifer Gates. Jackson will be executive producer alongside Brad Reeves, Susana Zepeda and Todd Shuster.

Sounds a bit different from SLJ anyway.

A Dallas art dealer? I bet that the film will be shot in Toronto, which in that film would be "Dallas" which would be freaking ridiculous. I'd like to see a movie that takes place in Dallas actually shot in Dallas for once. Plenty of places to shoot the movie, all that's needed are permits and permission for the filmmakers to shoot at a lot of these places. Only Indie films, the TV Show "Dallas" and "Walker, Texas Ranger" have actually been shot in Dallas.

A good role for Sam Jackson. It's different, but it's interesting.
