I interviewed Samuel L Jackson<\/strong> for TalkSPORT<\/a> recently and we talked about his latest film Snakes on a Plane<\/strong>. We discussed the proposed title change (“Pacific Flight 121” just doesn’t have the same ring to it does it?), the enormous buzz about the film on the Internet<\/a> and how marketing a film like this has changed in recent years. We also chatted his love of golf<\/a>, the atmosphere of a Merseyside derby<\/a> and whether or not “Snakes…” will be an inflight movie.<\/p>\n

Coincidentally, the interview took place in the same TV studios<\/a> where, 10 years ago, Samuel first expressed an interest in being in the Star Wars prequel<\/a> which was in pre-production in the UK at the time. In late 1996 whilst promoting The Long Kiss Goodnight<\/strong><\/a> on the Channel 4 chatshow TFI Friday<\/a> he told host Chris Evans<\/a> that he’d like to be in the “new Star Wars movie” (which turned out to be The Phantom Menace<\/strong><\/a>). Someone saw that and word eventually got back to George Lucas who eventually cast him as Mace Windu.<\/p>\n

Anyway, you can download an MP3 of the interview from the link below.<\/p>\n
