Samuel L. Jackson
Samuel L. Jackson, Joan Cusack, and Bradley Whitford have joined Brie Larson in her directorial debut, “Unicorn Store.”
Based on an original screenplay by writer Samantha McIntyre, “Unicorn Store” centers on a woman who moves back in with her parents. She receives an invitation to a store that will test her ideas of what it really means to grow up.
Jackson and Larson recently worked together on “Kong: Skull Island,” which Warner Bros. will release on March 10th, 2017. Jackson just wrapped “The Hitman’s Bodyguard” for Lionsgate and can currently be seen in “Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children” for 20th Century Fox.
Hercules Film Fund is fully financing with Rhea Films producing. Larson, Lynette Howell Taylor, Paris Kasidokostas-Latsis, Terry Dougas and The District’s David Bernad and Ruben Fleischer, who developed the script, are producing. Jean-Luc De Fanti, Anne Woodward and writer Samantha McIntyre are executive producing.
The comedy just began principal photography in Los Angeles.
Greek entrepreneur Paris Kasidokostas-Latsis set up the Hercules Film Fund to bring European investors to Hollywood to finance wide release films. The production arm, Rhea Films, was formed by Terry Dougas and Jean-Luc De Fanti.
Jackson is represented by ICM Partners and Anonymous Content.
