It’s not just twisted psychopaths that Detective Zeke (Chris Rock) has to look out for after he reports a fellow cop for being dirty in Spiral: From The Book Of Saw, as our exclusive clip from the movie shows below (warning, it features Samuel mother f*ucking Jackson so there is some bad language)…
A criminal mastermind unleashes a twisted form of justice in Spiral, the new chapter from the book of Saw. Working in the shadow of his father, an esteemed police veteran (Samuel L. Jackson), brash Detective Zeke and his rookie partner (Max Minghella) take charge of a grisly investigation into murders that are eerily reminiscent of the city’s gruesome past. Unwittingly entrapped in a deepening mystery, Zeke finds himself at the center of the killer’s morbid game…
We spoke to Spiral director and Saw legend, Darren Lynn Bousman, recently about working with Rock and Jackson and this is what he had to say…
“Chris came at it from trying to open up the audience, and bring in a more diverse, wider audience than would normally see a Saw film,” Bousman told us. “There were a lot of conversations with Chris and I about different ways to approach scenes. Chris is a filmmaker in his own right; he’s a writer, he’s a director, and so he was instrumental in elevating the movie. We were really lucky to have him on set.”
“I think Sam Jackson is the most terrifying presence I’ve ever met! He’s bigger than life. He’s Sam motherf*cking Jackson. So… you know… He came in and the only way I can say it is, he does not suffer fools lightly, which means he would question everything, and you had to have an answer for it because he has responsibility for his own acting and his character and his audience. So he kept me on my toes, which I really liked!”
From the looks of the above clip, Jackson’s character is the same in the film! For our full interview with Darren Lynn Bousman click here.
