And put in a call to Jeffrey Combs, Matt. We need to re-animate Warren Oates for this shit.

It was mentioned in an article on JoBlo, in which it is stated that Sly is looking towards Forest Whitaker to play a role in the film.
For me, a PG-13 rating is essentially a death sentence for this film. It had the potential to be someting truly great (in a cheesy, over-the-top sort of fashion), but with this downturn... I'm not so sure anymore.

No but the team certainly needs him. Afterall, underneath his beard is not a chin but another fist. Which of the other guys can claim to have a such an awesome secret weapon?

I hope all of the suggestions in this thread come true because I can't wait for them to start filming here in Shreveport/Bossier. I pray I run into them at some point, mostly to see if I can one up my little brother and his run in with Samuel L. Jackson. Jesus, that story is legendary.
Awesome I loved Sneakers!

One random Sunday back when Soul Men was filming here, I get to my grandparents for Sunday lunch and my brother says, "Guess who I met last night at IHOP?" I ask, "Who?" He responds back with, "Samuel L. Jackson."
I immediately geek out. Jackson is one of my favorite actors. I ask him what was he like. He tells me he was pretty cool. Although he dresses funky. He says he was in a pink polo shirt and baby blue plaid golf pants. At midnight. On a Saturday night. In the IHOP on Airline Drive in Bossier City. They met him when they went to check out. The cashier asks him if he noticed the person standing behind him. My little bro says, "No." The cashier tells him that a celebrity is standing behind him. He turns around and there is the baddest motherfucker on the planet. My brother and his friend's jaws hit the floor. There is this awkward silence for about 10 seconds with them just staring at him, awestruck. Jackson breaks the silence, "Damn. What's y'all's problem? You act like I just stuck you up at gunpoint or something. Do I intimidate you?"
And this is why I love my little bro.
Without blinking an eye he retorts, "We're not intimidated by anyone that can get their ass kicked by Arsenio Hall and Eddie Murphy with a mop."
Sam stops for a second, then roars with laughter. My little bro's friend is dumbstruck. He has no clue why this is funny. Jackson talks to them for a minute and tells them that that was the most random thing a fan had ever said to him and my little bro asks for a favor. "What, you want my autograph?" Jackson asks. My brother goes, "Nope, could you call me a motherfucker though?"
Jackson obliged.
