John Shaft - Future

Future

Paramount Pictures is negotiating a deal with John Singleton to make another Shaft movie to star Richard Roundtree (as Samuel L. Jackson has stated he no longer has interest making another Shaft film). After the release of the 2000 sequel, Singleton planned a sequel where Shaft would battle drug lords in Jamaica, but Jackson's disappointment with the film prevented a sequel from being made. Roundtree has signed on to do three Shaft sequels (the first two which will be filmed back to back), and has the option to write and direct the third.

Famous quotes containing the word future:

    “If ever the search for a tranquil belief should end,
    The future might stop emerging out of the past,
    Out of what is full of us; yet the search
    And the future emerging out of us seem to be one.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “Perfect present has no existence in our consciousness. As I said years ago in Erewhon, it lives but upon the sufferance of past and future. We are like men standing on a narrow footbridge over a railway. We can watch the future hurrying like an express train towards us, and then hurrying into the past, but in the narrow strip of present we cannot see it. Strange that that which is the most essential to our consciousness should be exactly that of which we are least definitely conscious.”
    —Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

    “It is the future that creates his present.
    All is an interminable chain of longing.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
