Moviehole caught up with the always friendly Gregor Jordan last week to chat about his new film “The Informers” (it’s had very mixed reviews but I’m still as excited as heck to see it) and managed to score the good word on his next flick “Unthinkable” starring Samuel L.Jackson. According to Jordan, who also directed the Aussie flicks “Ned Kelly” and “Two Hands” (both with Ledger), it’s a doozie – and yes, you read right, it stars Jackson!
”Well, the great thing about Unthinkable is, it’s on the surface, anyway, it’s an old-fashioned Hollywood thriller”, the director says of the pic. ”You know, you feel like you’re about to see, like, a Tom Clancy international thriller, kind of thing. Then it quickly turns into something else and Unthinkable is going to be incredible. The script’s incredible. I mean, I don’t want to sort of like – overhype it, or anything like that, but it literally is one of the most amazing scripts I’ve ever read.”
“Senator, I think – I guess because of their choice of material, the way Marco [Weber, producer] chooses material, and I guess his sensibility, is very appealing to actors. You know, and if you look at the movies he’s produced over the last couple years, you know, there’s an incredible cast list. And I think – you know, they’re obviously not attracted for the big money they’re going to earn. But they’re attracted for the more interesting material.”
“Unthinkable” stars Jackson, Carrie-Anne Moss, Brandon Routh, Gil Bellows, and Vincent Laresca. Oren Moverman and Peter Woodward wrote the “Incredible” script.
The story centers on a major threat to the United States when the locations of three nuclear devices are shrouded in secrecy by a single terrorist. With only two days before they are deployed, a black-ops interrogator and a female FBI agent have to decide how far they will go to find them.
