Samuel L. Jackson Doesn't Know If He'll Be In Tarantino's Last Movie
Samuel L. Jackson is unaware if Quentin Tarantino plans to have him in his final movie. The legendary director first burst onto the scene with the scrappy 1992 indie project Reservoir Dogs, but his pop-culture savvy dialogue and homage-heavy action sensibility really came to the fore in 1994's Pulp Fiction, which was nominated for 7 Oscars and earned him his first win for Best Original Screenplay. In addition to boosting the career resurgence of John Travolta, Pulp Fiction cemented Jackson's status as an iconic and recognizable figure, earning him his first and only acting nomination at the Oscars (though Jackson was awarded an honorary Oscar for career achievement in 2022).
Over the years, Jackson and Tarantino collaborated many more times. The actor appeared in the director's follow-up feature, the 1995 crime drama Jackie Brown, which featured Foxy Brown star Pam Grier in a role paying homage to her legacy. He would then go on to play roles in 2012's Django Unchained and 2015's The Hateful Eight. Although he didn't appear onscreen, he also had a voiceover role in Tarantino's World War II film Inglourious Basterds, which starred Brad Pitt, Christoph Waltz, and Tarantino's occasional directorial collaborator Eli Roth, bringing Jackson's total appearances up to 5 out of 9 of Tarantino's nine official movies.
