Sam L's Unthinkable

Loving Samuel L, in the acting sense

Iron Man rocks. Indy's coming soon. The Dark Knight is steaming into view. But we want to see Unthinkable.

And we will... just not for a year or so. Variety reports that the thriller only starts shooting in Michigan on September 2. So why are we excited?

Well, it stars Samuel L Jackson, which is always a good thing. Samuel L will be playing a Special Forces black-ops interrogator. And that sounds like a good thing.

And he'll be investigating a major threat to the U S of A when a terrorist plants three nuclear bombs across the country and Samuel L – together with an as-yet-uncast female FBI agent – have two days to find them. And two days to work out how far they'll go to get the information.

Via the same source we've also learned that, due to a shooting schedule clash, Natalie Portman is no longer appearing in the new version of Wuthering Heights. That's slightly disappointing – Natalie Portman and bodices seem like two good reasons to sit through a film – but what the hell.

Samuel L getting all 24 on a terrorists more than makes up for it.
