Samuel L. Jackson goes back to his roots (except with White people)

Samuel L. Jackson's newest movie is called "Resurrecting the Champ", where he plays the role that made him, well, not famous, but at least started his career. He plays a homeless bum who turns out to be a former Heavyweight boxing champion, who is discovered by a reporter (Josh Hartnett). The lead seems to be Josh Hartnett, who is trying to figure out if the story is true and how it relates to his life. And all the other white people in the movie. The only other black major cast member seems to be the whiny black guy who wanted to take Morpheus' girl in the third matrix. Samuel L.'s first roles were as bum types (robber in Trading Places, Blind guy in Exorcist III, and the crack head brother of Wesley Snipes in Jungle Fever.) It seems like it might be a chance for Samuel to win an oscar, as nobody does homeless drug addicted bum like Samuel L. In fact, the crack head girl in Jungle fever was Halle Berry, so maybe an oscar is in the future for Samuel L. If not, just look at the kickass career Samuel L has had, and thats all that matters to me.
