JACKSON HAS HIGH HOPES FOR SAMURAI FILM AFTER BLESSING CEREMONY
SAMUEL L JACKSON is confident his plans to turn animated TV hit AFRO SAMURAI into a live action film will bring him another big movie hit because the project has been blessed by real Samurai historians.
SAMUEL L JACKSON
The Pulp Fiction star met with anime experts in Tokyo, Japan to discuss the project and came away feeling sure the film would be a big success thanks to an ancient ceremony, for which he had to dress like a warrior.
He tells WENN, "We had a big ceremony where we blessed the project. We all dressed as Samurai and went to a traditional wooden structure where even the nails were wood.
"We went over in rickshaws and it was a big deal. They had the oldest Geisha women in Japan perform that night. They actually gave me two swords which I have at home for good luck."
