Liev Schreiber And Samuel L. Jackson In Consideration For Brad Anderson's 'Jack'

Briefly: At the end of May it looked as if John Cusack would be playing the lead role in Jack under director Brad Anderson. At that point the film was set for a late summer shoot, but has been delayed. (We don't know whether that is due to financing, the director's festival and other responsibilities promoting Vanishing on 7th Street, just picked up by Magnet, or another cause.)

Now Bloody Disgusting reports that an offer is out to Liev Schreiber to play the lead, said to be "an amnesiac killer who falls in love with a doctor and faces his resurfacing memories. Does he live a 'normal' life, or, in real Jim Thompson fashion, embrace his inner killer?"

Samuel L. Jackson is reportedly negotiating to play another role, Pete Chandler, but we don't know how he fits into the story. More on this one as it unfolds.
