Samuel L. Jackson to star in adaptation of Kite anime
Something about the idea of a renegade cop hunting down a teenage girl assassin trying to murder her parents’ killer just screams “Samuel L. Jackson.” Apparently, he feels the same way. According to Deadline, he’ll be filling that exact role in the upcoming live-action adaptation of Kite, a 1998 anime known for its crazy levels of violence, nudity, and violent nudity. The Secret Life Of The American Teenager’s India Eisley will be joining him as Sawa, the teen girl assassin, and I Am Number Four’s Callan McAuliffe will be playing a teen boy assassin named Oburi.
