Samuel L. Jackson has signed on to star in the live-action feature film adaptation of Takashi Okazaki's manga
Afrosamurai, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
"'Afrosamurai' is an enormously exciting concept that we think will translate strongly into a feature film," said producers Roven and Gartner. "We look forward to working with Samuel as well as with Gonzo and Fuji Television Network as we embark on this new venture together."
