MOVIE FAB: Chris Brown Lands Another Movie For +Samuel L. Jackson Has Grossed Over $7 Billion?!

Oct 28 | by Natasha

Chris Brown is set to star in a new movie alongside Meagan Good & Sherri Shepherd. Get the deets inside. Plus Samuel L. Jackson becoming the highest grossing actor of all time. And take a peek at Paula Patton's new trailer for "Mission Impossible: 4"...

Breezy's still sharpening his acting skills these days. He is set to play the lead in the upcoming movie Phenom. The storyline:

With the NBA playoffs right around the corner, the press learns that the league's new hotshot player -- a young man who went pro after high school -- is the illegitimate son of an aging NBA star. The player attempts to make a life with his newly found father and step brother.

Henry Simmons is attached to play the Father (sr. Phenom), Donta Storey as Chris' half brother, and Grayson Boucher as Chris' bestfriend. Meagan Good is also likely going to play his love interest. While Sherri Shepherd has a role as well.

The movie is slated to begin shooting mid-2012 after Chris releases his next album FORTUNE.

Paramount Pictures has unveiled a brand new trailer today for "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol," starring Tom Cruise and Paula Patton.

"M:I4" is set to hit theaters on December 21st.

And word has it Samuel L. Jackson grossed over 7 BILLION during the span of his career. The Guinness Book of World Records posted the tidbit, and NY Daily News reports:

Samuel L. Jackson has grossed an astounding $7.42 billion over the span of his entire film career by the Guinness Book of World Record.

Jackson, 62, received his biggest break in the industry, starring in the 1991 Spike Lee film "Jungle Fever." Since then, the actor has appeared in over 100 films from his critically acclaimed performance in "Pulp Fiction" to landing a recurring role in the galactic space film series "Star Wars."

WOW. This isn't clear on if he made this much salary wise or if the movies he was in grossed this amount total--but either way, it's a FAB accomplishment. WORK.

The Randomness:

1. President Obama's speechwriter pitched a new TV show loosely based on the First Family that will likely get pocked up by NBC. Nice! Story

Henry Simmons is fine!Grayson

Henry Simmons is fine!Grayson Boucher is a hell of a ball player. Meagan Good should be careful that she doesnt get type cast, she is always playing the love intrest. SLJ has done well for himself but I am surprised he beat out Denzel who has been acting longer and gets paid more per movie. He has come a long way since playing in Jungle Fever

the Sam Jackson grossing more

the Sam Jackson grossing more than any other actor in Hollywood is old, he's been doing that for a while now, he's know as the hardest working actor in Hollywood, he has grossed more than any other actor, but it's not that he gets paid more per film it's that he does so many so that's more money coming in and i like that becuase if you say you're an actor and that's your profession then that's what you sould be doing, i hate when actors (esp. black actors) say that there isn't work or enough quality roles for black actors, ok if you're an actor, act, do commercials, stage, small screen (tv), big screen, music videos, hell do a informercial just act, some actors will not act if the role is too small, not enough money or if its not on the big screen, that's what i love about Sam Jackson he don't give a hoot he's doing it, his part in a movie could be 15 mins or the entire 2 1/2 hours he's going to show up and show out.

Sick of Chris Brown although

Sick of Chris Brown although I like to watch him do his thing when he dances and his Lap Dances are Sweet!!! Now Samuel Jackson is definitely the man! One of my favorite top five actors he's the best in his craft and he is so good I can't pick just one film of his that I like/love. Sam is a great role model for African American Men and no doubt a lot of his strength and success in life and his career are also due to the strong black,beautiful woman he is married to that has been by his side from the very beginning. Any black male that is battling drug abuse should look at Sam as someone who has succeeded in being clean & sober,because he too once battled a crack addiction and LOOK AT HIM NOW! He is truly a bad man and he deserves every dollar of the Billion dollar pay check that has ever hit the palm of his hand. Love you Samuel Jackson and keep making Block Buster films....

(JUST so there's NOOO

(JUST so there's NOOO misunderstanding..)"Takers", which co-starred and was executive produced by(then 20-y/o) CBreezy made $87.6-Million (IN-TOTAL Box-Office (+) DVD SALES) for Sony/SG - http://www.the-numbers.com/movies/2010/TAKER.php ..ALSO, in addition to THAT $87.6-Million, Sony/SG had sold the TV rights to FX for 10-15% of domestic(U.S.)gross -- deadline(dotcom)/2010/09/fx-picks-up-rights-to-other-guys-takers/ That'll bring 'Takers' returns upwards of $93-Million! Now, you may ask yourself, "what was the cost?" The cost(to bring to theaters) was $50-Million - boxoffice(dotcom)/statistics/movies/takers-2010?q=Takers The "metric", or "rule-of-thumb", for a film's "profitability" that is used by "The Industry" is 1.75 X the "known costs". Films that return 1.40 X "known costs" are said to be "on the bubble". 'Takers' had cost (to bring to theaters) $50-Million, and returned, in profits, upwards of $93-Million.. CONGRATS to CBreezy, T.I., and Idris Elba, for not only single-handedly marketing this film, but also "carrying" it! Oh, BTW, if a blogger, who goes by the name of "ThaREAL", now cares to know - "Columbiana", starring ZOE SALDANA, was/is a "MONEY LOSER": deadline(dotcom)/2011/09/kagan-the-help-is-the-most-profitable-film-from-a-month-with-few-successes (As you were..)

So Chris is in 3 more movies now? Phenom, Planet B Boy, and Think Like A Man? Am I right? Wow. He better slay! Some of you need to just give props. Oh and "Kick Brown" or "Fist Brown" aren't funny names. It just shows ignorance. But what really makes me laugh about "haters" espically when they are RihannaNavy I gotta ask do you get payed to appear mad and bitter on blogs? Chris is such a flop and can't sing but yet he's shitting on your life. Hmmm...think about that. As for Samuel L Jackson...that's impressive so congrats to him!

@Godiva-Diva re:Oct 28, '11 -- Do you personally know Paula Patton? ..Even so, why is SHE so "richly deserved"? Paula Patton, and her "simp-mouth-for-acting technique" is exactly why "Jumping The Broom" LOST money: TriStar’s Jumping The Broom ($63.4 million vs costs of $66.9 million) www.deadline.com/2011/06/kagan-pirates-hangover-and-bridesmaids-lead-the... Paula Patton, on-screen, more so, in her personal life isn't a "representation" of me, NOR MY LIFE in any remote facsimile or semblance. Neither is Kerry Washington, nor Halle Berry! Any black man who supports the aforementioned "bitches brew" is GAY, Asexual, or now suffers the aftereffects of "Oprah Winfrey's 25-year-long scrotum-mashing campaign"..!! XYZ

As a matter of fact, I DO

As a matter of fact, I DO know Paula Patton. I'll pause here, giving you a moment to wipe the egg off of your face... Yeah, I met her about 8 mos ago: she has investments with one of my bosses' companies. She was gracious and approachable when she came to our office for business, which is how I met her. But I was a fan of hers before I met her and at that time, I still felt that she deserved respect and success. You never hear anything bad about her and she carries herself nicely, as I do. I even wish people like you--who dissect other peoples' opinions (like you have a right to do so), success. See that's what confident, self-assured prayerful people like me do. We don't sweat the small stuff, and we don't apologize for our opinions. Might I remind you that we can ALL feel and say what we want to--this is a blog not a court appearance. Good Night.

@Godiva-Diva re: Oct 28th,

@Godiva-Diva re: Oct 28th, 5:20 pm -- "Do you know her?" "Yes! I met her about 8-months ago. She has investments with one of MY bosses' companies" So you "met" her, in a formal, structured, procedural, "business" setting, ONLY some "8-months" ago, and you're "AS presumptuous" to state that you..."KNOW" her?! (Meh..) That's no "egg" on my face, it's "red with embarrassment/angst" FOR YOU, and your " boldfaced-forwardness"! So while I "duck your spitball", I'll advise you to "avoid the sharp edges" which just might puncture your "over-inflated" sense-of-self! (Again..) It was Paula Patton's weak, wishy-washy, simping, gimping, breath-mouthed performance that cause "Jumping The Broom" to fail as badly as it had! There is just NO excuse! 'JTB' had an "armada-like" cast of well-seasoned actors/actresses, and "equally expert" writers, producers, and directors to match. Their only charge was to "protect" the film from Ms. Patton's trademarked toothy, forced smiles, and contrived, rusted "line delivery". Yes: with the cast it had, it should have done FAR-FAR better. BUT NOOOO!!! ..T'was unmistakably and absolutely, Paula Patton, your "longtime confidant", who managed to not only "sink the Titanic", but also the entire fleet..!! Paula Patton, your "lifelong friend" is T-H-E absolutely, most over-hyped, overrated, overexposed, underwhelming, easily-forgettable, yet frighteningly disappointing "excuse" for/of an actress to "ever dare" her form to be captured by a "moving image" device. Oh.. BTW, thanks for the well-wishes for/of success..!! ; - 9 (wink) X,Y, "and Z" -- OUT..!!

They should pitch the Presidents story to CBS. NBS is in a tail-spin trying to keep shows on the air, when it basically ruled the networks in the 80's and 90's. When sitcoms stopped being plentiful so did their ratings. Wile CBS has ruled with their crime dramas. And Henry Simmons playing the father in that CB film might get me to go see that. Been a big fan of his since "Another World," and "NYPD Blue" and he's still fine!
