From One Afro To Another

Posted by JP | Afro Samurai | Tuesday 5 August 2008 8:11 pm

Back in 2005 it was announced that a live-action adaptation of Takashi Okazaki’s Afro Samurai was in the works with Samuel L. Jackson, the voice in the anime, on board as Producer.

Well, Mr. jackson spoke with MTV about Afro Samurai and gave a few updates on the project, as well as who he sees in the role.

“We have a live-action plan,” Jackson revealed, saying that he wants to see Afro’s battle with Number One up on the big screen with flesh-and-blood actors. “Hopefully, that script will come together and we’ll be able to do that in the next two years or so.”

On the TV Show, Sam the Man is an executive producer and the voice of the high-kicking Samurai warrior. In real life, however, the 59-year-old actor revealed to us that he’ll let someone else play Afro.

“No, I’m not; I won’t be doing that,” he shrugged. “I’ll be the dead father. I’ll show up in some spiritual scenes, and give him some guidance. We’ll find some young guy that is capable of doing all those things and make it really cool.”

Asked who he wants for the flick, the producer responded: “You know, when I look at him, I see Andre 3000,” Jackson grinned. “So, maybe so.”
