Papa’s got a brand new bag … and a brand new cast. There’s only one question … who’s playing who?
With a little help from Bridget Fonda’s beach bunny bimbo, Samuel L. Jackson and Robert De Niro made a pretty funny criminal team in 1997’s "Jackie Brown," Quentin Tarantino’s big-screen adaptation of Elmore Leonard’s "Rum Punch."
Now, two lucky actors will be asked to play younger versions of the characters Ordell Robbie (Jackson) and Louis Gara (De Niro), as screenwriter Dan Schechter ("Goodbye Baby") has written an adaptation of Leonard’s 1978 novel "The Switch," according to JoBlo.
Schechter will produce the film with Michael Siegel ("Be Cool" — another Leonard adaptation), while Leonard will exec produce "The Switch," which is not to be confused with the upcoming Jason Bateman-Jennifer Aniston pregnancy comedy.
