In Same Kind Of Different As Me

Oct 7th 2009 By James White

Samuel L Jackson has signed on to yet another film - an adaptation of non-fiction book Same Kind Of Different As Me.

He's agreed to play Denver Moore, a real-life ex-con and former drifter, who forged an unlikely friendship with wealthy art dealer Ron Hall in Dallas.

It's based on the book penned by Moore, Hall (below) and Lynn Vincent and was originally optioned last year.

The film has lingered on the edges of development limbo for a while now, but with Jackson aboard, the script is finally being shopped around in the hopes of hooking some financing and grabbing a director.
