Trailer: Samuel L. Jackson's "Meeting Evil" Thriller

Luke Wilson has the same sad look in every single film...and apparently even on the posters.

Ah...I remember the days when Sam L. Jackson was a respectable actor...those are long gone now.

f*ck it I'll watch. Seemed soso

S.Darko director? This sounds soooo promising.. not, f*ck that hack of a movie and director!

@ippinto

I'm suprised you had the stomach to watched that piece of garbage in the first place.

Isnt that collateral?

luke wilson's only movies I've liked were 'old school' and 'vacancy'

^ I didn't watch it.. i fastforward through it, it made no sense, and i think i caught some sort of brain damage from it, and now i can't stop watching mature porn with 70 year olds. The director was trying too hard to imitate and recall many references from the "previous" one, the guy only has precedural tv shows talent, nothing else, even Mario Van Peebles could do better and he also sucks...

Yup when your in a movie with Luke Wilson, your career is pretty much over.

" and i think i caught some sort of brain damage from it"

LOL.

Ok, how is this not like Fight Club, Idenity, or any other spilt personality? In the police room, the investigator told Luke Wilson that all the witnesses I.D.ed him. Then we see Jackson wearing nothing but the same clothes throughout the trailer, except in police gear, which is out of character from what everything around it was.

Hollywood isn't very original, but that is nothing new.

@Rambo - Old School was on last night. I only caught the end of it (but I've seen it before). Yeah, good movie, the cast worked well together. It'll never be Animal House... but hopefully they weren't trying too hard to be so.

Hey, we pick on Nic for taking every acting offer out there, let's talk about SLJ here for a minute. The guy is a machine. What I like about him is he keeps his fee reasonable ($7mil a flick... but that figure is a couple of years old), he contracts on every movie to get 2 days a week just to golf (he's pacing himself), and the man likes to work. And he's easily the busiest actor in the biz.

"Luke Wilson has the same sad look in every single film"

Yep, he's looking constantly depressing even when he try to smile he's still looking sad. His sad ass is well suited for this kind of film.

The plot seems interesting mixed with flashbacks I'm sure. Worth giving a shot.

i got about 30seconds in to the trailer and straight away i thought 'Fight Club'.

I'll probably end up watching it to find out how similar it actually is though. Sam Jackson does help the situation too

"Hollywood isn't very original, but that is nothing new."

Yep. Jackson's character is really just a figment of Wilson's imagination. Essentially a bland generic rip of Secret Window/The Machinist/Fight Club/Identity/Mr. Brooks, except all of them are far better films.

Thomas Berger, author of the book on which this is derived, wrote the book on which the movie 'Neighbors' is based, so if you like that old-school film, you may like this one. I doubt it though. Acting looks weak and the trailer, meh. It's difficult to sell unoriginality these days.

The good news? Leslie Bibb is in 'Meeting Evil', and if you recall, which you may not considering her rather insignificant role, she was in Iron Man as reporter Christine Everhart, one of Stark's flings.

Im gonna hire Sam Jackson to come to my 'you finally got a f*ckn job' party

Somethn tells me hes not available, but will attend

Is it me or does Sam Jackson needs to be more picky with his roles?

I think maybe he's been hanging around with Robert De Niro too much...

He really have the same f*cking face he had in Old School... 10 years ago. I guess you don't get older too fast when you don't work to hard eh Luke.

i actually find Samuel to play a pretty good killer in his movies, like that one about the bombs and how he was torturing the guy, that was good.
