Samuel L. Jackson Returns for Long Kiss Sequel

If you enjoyed the first one, get ready for Samuel L. Jackson to return as the calmed-mannered, veteran detective in “The Long Kiss Goodnight.” Jackson will be working with director Reny Harlin on a sequel to the 11-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 stated.

Jackson's character, Mitch Hennesey, remains one of his favorite roles, he declared. “Mitch is one of my favorite characters,” Jackson enthused. “I mean, every time I pass ‘The Long Kiss Goodnight’ [on TV], I stop and watch it. If it’s on, I stop, I watch it.” The original film followed suburban housewife, Samantha, who after a bump on the head, begins to remember small parts of her previous life as a top-secret assassin. And none too soon. Samantha soon finds herself in a fight for her life when old enemies track her down. She enlists the aid of Mitch to survive the onslaught, all the while getting stronger and more deadly.
