Samuel L. Jackson and Christina Ricci are in talks to star in the gritty drama
Black Snake Moan, according to Variety.
Writer-director Craig Brewer is to direct in Memphis in September. In
Black Snake Moan, Jackson would play Lazarus Woods, a God-fearing ex-blues musician who is a father figure to a sex-addicted woman played by Ricci. Justin Timberlake is being courted to play Ricci's boy friend.
