Samuel L Jackson is interested in dawning the role of Mitch Henessey once again. He is interested in a sequel to “The Long Kiss Goodnight,” we get the scoop from MTV Movies Blog:
It’s the year of the aging action star: Indiana Jones, John McClane…and now Mitch Henessey? Samuel L. Jackson told MTV News that he’s eager to revisit the hard-drinking, fast-thinking detective he made famous in “The Long Kiss Goodnight,” and is working with director Renny Harlin on a sequel to the eleven-year-old action thriller. “We sort of have a development project now for ‘The Long Kiss Goodnight 2.’ We’re talking to writers, you know, getting it together,” he announced.
But don’t expect a reunion with Ms. Davis, Jackson cautioned. While she was the star of the first film, the sequel will have a fresher, and in many ways, much more sinister, female protagonist.
“Actually, we’re thinking, you know, the little girl [Samantha’s daughter, Caitlin] is grown up now and possibly got some skills passed onto her by her mom,” Jackson said of the film’s plot. “Her mom gets killed and we want to find out who did it.””
Geena Davis gets no love, and I feel sad because I am part of the group that is just flat out indifferent to the work of Geena Davis. Truth be told, I have no problem with Geena, just something about her makes me want to avoid her films at all costs. Perhaps that is why in the sequel they have decided that she may be better off dead.
It is always neat to hear about what films actors have enjoyed working on thought the years. I was shocked to read this news today, and yet delighted that Samuel L. Jackson had so much fun with this film alongside Geena Davis; I would not of called this one at all. With such fond memories of the character I hope Samuel is able to get a decent project together so he can breathe life into him anew.
