Samuel L Jackson may very well be one of the busiest actors in Hollywood these days. Doing press for his dramatic film, Black Snake Moan, Jackson caught us up on some of the projects he has on his plate right now including 1408, Jumper, Cleaner, and Resurrecting the Champ. But there is one big budget sequel that isn’t on his list of upcoming films: Live Free or Die Hard. Jackson confirmed he’s not reuniting with Bruce Willis for the fourth film of the Die Hard franchise.

A Little on 1408 and Jumper: Jackson finished work on 1408, based on the short story by Stephen King, last summer. “I saw the trailer for it and it looks pretty good. I'm just the hotel manager who's trying to prevent this guy from staying in that room because he doesn't believe in paranormal experiences even though he writes about them. He's never actually seen a ghost in that room. He's purely evil, but he has to go into that to find that out. So that, and trying to prevent him from doing that, it's not a big role. It's just sort of expository talking about all the deaths that have happened in the room and why he shouldn't stay in it.

Then I went to Jumper. Jumper is still shooting actually, which is a film about kids who can teleport. I play a government agent that's sort of chasing them and killing them, and kind of hates kids that can do that because they leave these interesting rips in the atmosphere when they do it. That's still kind of going on, so I'm back and forth still shooting stuff for that.

What else is there? Seems like there's something else I'm missing…”

There Is…It’s Cleaner: “Oh yeah, Cleaner. I’m doing [it] now, which is about a guy who cleans death sites. Interestingly enough, after police finish with crime scenes, or people die in a house or whatever, it's up to the family to clean the house up. Get the brains off the wall, the blood off the floor, and that's something I didn't know. I always thought they did it. But this guy runs a business that does that. He also cleans up other kinds of biohazards with animals and all kinds of stuff.

It's about a guy who actually gets a call from the police and he goes and cleans up a crime scene site. A couple of days later he's looking in the paper and the house that he cleaned up, the husband's missing and the wife doesn't know what happened. He realizes that somebody duped him into cleaning up a crime scene that the police didn't know about yet. Now he's got to figure out what to do. Does he tell them? Does he try to figure out who did it or whatever?

The wife actually comes to him because he accidentally took her key and went back to the house. That's that. I'm supposed to do a film called Black Water Transit after that. And after that I'm supposed to do a film called Lakeview Terrace, which is about a racist cop who kind of harasses this interracial couple that moves into his neighborhood. I don't know what I'm doing after that.”

How About Resurrecting the Champ? “Oh, Resurrecting the Champ, that's what I did. Oh, duh. Yeah, Resurrecting the Champ was a film I did with Josh Hartnett about a homeless fighter that this reporter discovers and starts writing about his life and telling his story, because he wants to be as famous as his father was who was a famous journalist. Nice little story.”

Doing Voice Work on Afro-Samurai: Jackson said it’s a similar process to the work he did on The Incredibles. “Yeah, you just go into the studio and kind of read the stuff and kind of do it, and do it in different spaces in time. All of a sudden somebody will call and it's like, ‘We need you to come to the studio and do some more stuff,’ so you do it. Fortunately that project lent itself to me having two different voices and being a producer and doing all this other stuff. I guess it's been relatively successful because they've ordered another season, so hopefully we'll get it done.”
